The following article is the outcome of an argument in which the writer contended, (and subsequentlv proved by experiment) that, with less than half-an-hour’s explanation, he could get boys of fourteen to draw, as quickly as experts, bending moment diagrams for beams subject to moving to centrated loads. An engineer’s time should be too valuable for such work, which should come within the province of the ofice boy. W.G. Sheppard
