- ROBERTS ON FUNDAMENTAL ECONOMICS IN HYDRO-ELECTRIC DESIGN 115 Paper No. 5779 " Fundamental Economics in Hydro-Electric Design '' 7 by CYRTT,MINCHIN ROBERTS, M.T.C.E. SYNOPSIS The preliminary investigation into the possibilities of hydro-electric development within a catchment area, which appears suitable on account of its geographical location and other characteristics, depends largely upon the amount of information available as to basic rainfall and run-off and upon the nature and extent of the electricity supply to be provided. The Paper indicates and discusses some of the fundamental factors and variable conditions which are encountered in design studies and describes methods which may be used to produce the most economicalsolution to the problem...

- MAINTENANCE THE OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES 201 kept in repair to save undue impact on the structure. With the smaller type of bridge, there is a tendency t,o leave the operation to one man, with probably a road lengthman on call. Although such a scheme appears to be economical, it does not,inthe long run,pay dividends, since the operator will be discouraged by having to work long hours, whilst many little points of day-to-day maintenance will be neglected and will build-up, finally leading to a breakdown. Such things as uneven bearings of the bridge, which cause rocking when carrying road traffic, could be eliminated by steel wedging, etc...
