- 38 DISCUSSION ON GRAVEL COMPACTION AND TESTING, Discussion The Author introduced the Paper with the aid of a series of lantern slides. Mr F. N. Sparkes said that he found it difficult to offer any constructive criticism, because, as the Author had said in presenting the Paper, it had been necessary to make statements in it without qualifying them in any way. Of the manydebatable statements made, Mr Sparkes would confine his remarks to three. The Author had said that there was only one waterlcement ratio for a concrete mix, and had estimated that requirement by determining first the amount of moisture required to obtain maximum compaction in the sand, as sand; he had then assumed that for the coarse aggregate the thickness of the film of water round each particle was 0...

- OF THE NEW DEEP-WATER QUAYS AT LEITH 83 Discussion Mr J. H. Jellett remarked upon the increasing tendency, illustrated in the Paper, to use concrete as a factory material for the production of components, which were then taken to the spot a t which they were to be used. The practice of constructing quay walls and breakwaters by floatingout concrete caissons and sinking them either on or into the sea-bed was not new, although at the time that the Mulberry Harbour had been built many people had gained the impression that a new and somewhat revolutionary principle had been discovered...

M.C., This Note is one of fourwhichdeal with the methods of effecting economy in railway civil engineering work, and is concerned with economy through organization. Economy for this purpose may be taken as attaining the desired result with the minimum expenditure of labour, material, etc., and organization as thearrangements madefor achieving the desired results. I n planning any organization the first essential is that a clear picture of the result desired must be obtained, whether this is for the organization as a whole or for any particular section of it...

- 114 THOMPSON ON ECONOMY THROUGH ORGANIZATION ORQANIZATION AND MANAQEMENT These very general notes on economy in railway engineering through organization refer to the economy to be effected by the adoption of a system of working that eliminates, so faras possible, waste of manpower or material by ensuring that the provision made corresponds with the ascertained need. They refer to theeconomy arising, not from good management but from the form of machinery through which management operates. Management, in this sense, is not organization-the latter may be likened to the machine and the former to the operator of the machine...

INTRODUCTION An annual expenditure of 22 million is incurred in the examination, repair, and renewal of bridges, tunnels, and culverts on British Railways ; and, of this sum 2$ million is spent on the examination,repair,and painting of thesestructures.1Although the cost of perfectionmay be prohibitive, a greater degree of permanency isto be expected in the future provided close attention is paid to details, so essential in good design, and full use is made of knowledge gained from past experience...

Campion, referring to Introductory Note No. 1, observed r that it might be of some interest to give an account of the effect of the incentive schemes which Mr Stevens had advocated and which had been putinto force fairly extensively on the Southern Region. The first scheme had been started about 5 years ago in a concrete depot. It had been very successful, and hadnow been extended to all the manufacturing and supply depots in the department. The total number of staff involved was upwards of 550,in four differentcentres...

- 192 DISCUSSION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOT-ROLLED GRAVEL Discussion Mr H. Bowdler observed that it was important, beforeconsidering the question of the laying of gravel asphalton the minor roads in Norfolk, to know what the previous method of construction had been. In 1930, when the County had taken over those roads, they were in an appalling state andwere little more than farm trackson which local gravel hadbeen placed from time to time androlled in. An effort had been made to waterproof them by a very extensive programme of surface dressing, but no effort had been made to re-shape the roads until some years after when it had been considered necessary to scarify the surface, before applying a coat of slag rejects or flint to addstrength to the road and surfacing with tarmacadam...

The method involves the use of an easily constructedcircle chart based on norme1 geometricprinciples to replace the cumbrous use of station-pointers.ThePaper shows how the use of the chart eliminates technical assistance a minimum, speeds to up the rate plotting and generally assists innavigation of the vessel, an operation of the so alien to a civil engineerthat it desirable him to have the simplest tools for the is for purpose...

(Ordered by Council to be published in abstract form) t THEstability of a soil used for road foundationsdepends upon the stability of its micro-structure, which, in turn, is controlled by those site conditions which govern restraint andmovements of moisture and hence the variation of moisture content. Road design methods, based on correlationships and/or testing methods involving empirical considerations and assumptions concerning the final subgrade moisture-content respectively, are suitable certain in areas...
