- MAINTENANCE OF LONG WELDED RAILS. 9 the London Transport railways were particularly severe, which no doubt accounted for the performance of the Thermit welded rails being inferior to what had been experienced in Australia. It was noted that in Australia the ends of the 200-foot rails were connected with standard fishplates which gave a particularly good fit owing to theidentical cross-section of the rails connected, the joint having been formed by cutting through an existing length of rail. That would not, however, be the equivalent of the machined joint described in the Paper,because a really accurate fitting between the fishing angles of the plates and the rails would be ensured only by machining and because the rigidity of the joint would be impaired by the necessity to provide an expansion allowance...

The figure of 4s. 1Od. could easily be doubled for a smaller job with fewer barrels. Owing to the requirements of the above-mentionedjob, that there should be no projection below the soffit of the shell, the resulting upstand stiffening beamsincreased the weight of steel above the normal.Even so, that amounted to only 3...

The properties for sheets, forgings, etc., given on p. 30 were quoted from the manufacturers' handbook. So far as the use of those alloys for military bridging was concerned, they were still at theexperimental stage, but there seemed no reason why they should not be so used. Finally, he agreed wholeheartedly with Mr. Taverner that aluminium alloy extrusions should be designed ab initio and not be a mere copy of some steel section...

- REMEDIAL MEASURES TAKEN. 19 The Author, in introducing the Paper, had appealed for further gaugings. If they were forthcoming, it would be interesting to know whether they confirmed the conclusions reached by Mr. Lambert. The Author, in reply to Mr. Glavin, stated that the Engineer of the Middle Level Commissioners, Mr. G. McLeod,M.I.C.E., had been quick to realize the danger at the St. Germans pumping-station of blockage of the pump inlets by floating ice and had takenimmediate steps to effect a clearance...

- 20 GREATHEAD AND HAWKINS ON FIRST STAGES IN THE Mr. Millman had often noticed on a contract that nearly every machine was of a different make and size of power unit, and he suggested that to from 10 horse-power to 100 have a range of standard power units-say horse-power-to fit various machines would save a considerable amount of money in spares, repairs, lost time, and general disorganization. TheAuthors, in reply, thanked Mr. Millman for his remarks but, as the points raised by him had been discussed fully in the Paper and at the Meeting, they felt that they could not add to the views already expressed...

- 22 COZENS ON PROBLEMS IN THE SELECTION OF SITES where base and sub-base materials were consistent, as in the case of airfields. The Authors, in reply, stated that the reason why the E.4 material occurring close to the formation-level was removed was that as stated in paragraph (e), on p. 19 of the Paper, it was desired to have a layer of " laterite " immediately under the base course of water-bound macadam. An additional reason for removing the E.4 materialand replacing it was that it was found to have a low field density, giving an equivalent strength far below that considered necessary and provided elsewhere by the " ouklip...
