- 254 DISCUSSION ON SOIL STABILITY PROBLEMS Discussion Mr B. F. J. Bradbeer observed that it was not easy to follow on after the striking examples presented by Mr Glossopwhen introducing the Paper. Instabilityinroads mightbe considered, he suggested, under two general headings. The first was the more spectacular failures of earthworks and landslides, such as the case recently reported by the County Surveyor of Worcestershire, which had cost ;ElO,OOo to rectify. At presentday prices it was doubtful whether any slip worthy of the name could be dealt with for much less than $5,000...

- IN SITING AND PLANNING OF AIRPOKl'S 303 Discussion The Author, inintroduction, said that he had been asked to draw attention to two points which he had not mentioned in the Paper. The first was that, on undulating sites, it was often difficult to decide how far cost should be incurred in eliminating longitudinal changes of gradient along the runways. Although limiting gradients andrates of change of gradient were set out in the I.C.A.O. report, if they were strictly applied they sometimes produced unsatisfactory results from the pilot's point of view...

- DRY DOCK AND ANCILLARY WORKS AT SUNDERLAND 341 Discussion Mr 3. H.Jellett observed that the Author was to be congratulated upon the elimination of the greenheart keel, to which he had referred on p. 331. Mr Jellett had been associated for the past 5 or 6 years with the Dover Train-Ferry dock gates which contained that feature, and there was no doubt that it was one of the weakest features of the design as provided a t Dover. Members of the Division might remember that in 1948 he had presented a Paper describing the maintenance operations a t Dover...

- IN RELATION TO MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION 393 eliminate the cutting of light-leads when engines are moved, besides providing better working conditions. CONCLUSIONS The designer, without serving a long apprenticeship on maintenance, cannot be expected to be fully aware of all the difficulties to be overcome by the maintenance engineer in inspecting and in maintainingthe structures in his charge. It is equally true to say that the maintenance engineer may be lacking in his appreciation of the designer's difficulties when required to design a structure a t a figure that is economic in relation to itspurpose...

- SMITH ON SOME AIDS TO TRAFFIC FLOW 429 arouse friction between drivers and a feeling of frustration which is very often reflected, when the congestion is passed, in faster driving than would otherwise be necessary. In the case of road transport the delay is more serious nationally. The driver working to schedule either conforms strictly to the speed limits, in which case he falls behind time, or he increases his speed. If behind schedule, he mayeither fail to deliver a consignment in time (which is particularly serious if for export, or for a factory shortof a particular material), and if he increases speed he not only breaks the law but increases the cost of running and the cost of maintenance...

Cooper, referring to theuse of soil stabilization for permanent airfields, observed that most of the pavementsconstructed during the 1 9 3 9 4 5 war had, for a large number of reasons, been constructed in concrete. There had since been little new construction until comparatively recently, andthen construction had consisted in eitherstrengthening existing pavements for aircraft of normal weight or constructing new pavements for heavy aircraft. Most of the sites for heavy aircraft had subgrades with extremely low California Bearing Ratios (of the order of 3 per cent) and those sites on about 4 feet construction thickness would have been required if flexible pavements were to be used...
