- IN THE VICINITY OF THE CITY OF NOTTINGHAM XXi necessary evils often encountered when using an exaggeration of vertical scale. The Authors, in reply, stated that a drawing of the model itself had not been included with the Paper because the area covered by the model was very similar to the area shown in Fig. 6, Plate 1, between Beeston Weir and Radcliffe Viaduct ; only minor ponded areas where no flow had occurred had been omitted. The construction of a labyrinth had, of course, been considered, but in view of the importance of ascertaining the effect of the scheme on the riparian lands below Radcliffe Viaduct, it had been deemed advisable not to introduce a labyrinth, because of the necessity for measuring the actual discharges a t Radcliffe Viaduct under different conditions...

Pippard observed that the structure described in the Paperwas probably the most interesting one designed in Great Britain since the two airships R100 and R101. The problems of analysis seemed to him to be twofold. Pirst, there was the framing of the dome itself, and the big problem of determining what loads came into the members of that framing and, from them, what forces were carried by the ring girder...
