The same main can then be used for exhausting the gaseous products of blasting, or separate blower and exhaust fans can be connected to the air main by a suitable arrangement of valves. I n tunnels where no explosives are used, there is a tendency to regard the exhaust airfrom pneumatic tools and grouting pans, and leakage from joints in thehigh-pressure air-pipes as affording a sufficient supply of air ; but such air, besides being entirely inadequate in quantity, charged with is oil and moisture deleterious to health...

- DISCUSSION ON MACHINERY AND PLANT IN CONNEXION WITH CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION. 159 Discussion. TheChairman said that the subject under discussion was of equal concern to thecivil and to the mechanical engineer, and they were fortunate in having the user's point of view presented by so experienced and eminent a civil engineering contractor as Sir George Burt. Such was the range of machinery employed to-day in civil engineering works that it had been necessary to try tocover the machinery manufacturers' point of view in a series of nine short Papers, to be presented in summarized form by Mr...

- BIRMINGHAM C M C CENTRE. 213 Discussion, Mr.T. C. Howitt introduced the Paperwith the aidof a series of lantern slides. He observed that the war had shown clearly that the country's greatest success was achieved when the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force worked not only closely but also amicably together combined operain tions, and it had also shown that too much could not be done in working out every minute detail to secure the objective and satisfactory progress in order to ensure ultimate and outstanding success. Those principles, he thought, applied equally to large building projects, with their manycomplications, and it was only by a veryclose and friendly liaison between the architect, the engineer, the surveyor, the contractor, and even the workmen that the most up-to-date methods of construction and design could be used and the results aimed a t achieved...
