The work was concerned with the use of bitumen as a suitable material for a sliding layer. Some of the characteristics of bitumen had already been confirmed and included : (l) The restraint varied with temperature and increased considerably a t low temperatures. (2) The restraint increased with the viscosity of the bitumen...

Air Stations, said that the three fundamental requirementsfor carrying out the work by direct labour-namely, ( a )a capableengineering staff ; ( b ) adequate and suitable mechanical plant ; and (c) a supply of suitable labour-had all been available. As a result of the war in the Far East, the Departmentpossessed adequate mechanical plant of a heavy civil engineering type, but it was in varying conditionowing to financial stringency on repairs ; and it had been necessary to purchase some special machines as a charge t o the job...

- THROUGH TYPE PLATE-GIRDER RAILWAY BRIDGE 645 The Authors were glad Mr Everall had drawn attention to the pioneer work of Professor Batho. An early application of high-strength bolts had been in the Callender-Hamilton bridge.11 Correspondence Mr E. M. Lewis (Director of Research, W. S. Atkins and Partners) stated that thecombination of welded steelwork with high-strength bolted friction-grip joints, together with integral steel and precast concrete elements used by the Authors led to rigid structures. The older riveted and bolted forms of structure were " free to breathe " but the new forms were not...

Discussion Colonel Sydney Green (a Senior Civil Engineer, Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation) observed that few engineers had very much doubt about the theoreticalcapacity of an unobstructed traffic lane carrying vehicles proceeding a t uniform speed. Most of them would probably agree that in practice drivers tended to drive closer than they should to the vehicle in front and he would not quarrel with the adoption of the lower figure which the Author had given in Fig...
