He was in broad agreement with Mr McLeod's other remarks about pumping stations. The Author was glad to receive the support of several speakers, including Mr Doran and Mr Taylor, on the need for greater objectivity and regard for economics in the design of drainage works. He could assure Mr Doran that the Heneage Committee had had the economic aspect well in mind during their deliberations...

- CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION UNDER WATER 783 Correspondence Mr R. R. Beaumont remarked that the placing of concrete under water was regarded by many as a mysterious technique connected with special cements. The Authors had successfully disposed of that bogey. They had rightlypointed out that it was impossible to pun concrete deposited under water. If an attempt was made to pour stiffmixes in those conditions, the concrete face would have cavities and pockets similar to the face of an above-water pour that had not been rammed. Underwater concrete, therefore, had to be fluid enough to place itself and find the shape of the shuttering...

That rather suggested that in any case it might be dangerous to attempt to apply the results of tests on a bend of such simplicity (in the geometrical sense) to the case of a tortuous channel in which cross-sections were far from regular and in which bends of reversed curvature succeeded one another. Moreover, the Authors had stressed their purpose as being to estimate the combined effect of bends and changes of section...

The h s t was that theproblem of flow measurement had not yet been related to rougness influences.
