This paper outlines experience of using computers to assist the production of information required to fabricate structural steel. The computer aided production system (CAPS) is now widely used by the UK steel fabricating industry. The system has been developed to the point where it can handle the very diverse requirements of different fabricating companies and the wide variety of irregular connections encountered in steel frames.

<h4>Verulam</h4>

Verulam

Man with a secret Most engineers, scientists, scholars, having conceived something new, unhesitatingly rush into print, especially if there is no pecuniary advantage in eschewing disclosure. Not so Mr John Nayler, who believes that he may possibly have rediscovered a simple solution to an important proposition. He writes: This submission may be 2400 years late! After I had explained the uses of Pythagoras’ theorem to a bright evening class of would-be builders and clerks of works, I checked with several encyclopaedias, and it seems that there is no known simple proof of this theorem. Correct me, please, if I am wrong. Euclid stated an alleged proof 300 years after Pythagoras, and it is not simple. Verulam

Design of Beams to CP 110: 1972

Much of the controversy surrounding CPllO is, to some extent, engendered by the belief among engineers that the determination of flexural reinforcement for beams and columns is so complex that a volume of design curves (Part 2) is required. B.E. Clark
