To the EDITOR of The Structural Engineer. SIR,-A point which has been much stressed recently (namely, that all local authorities who have control over buildingshould be empowered to permit the use of welding in steel structures, subject to specified codes of practice), has again been brought to the notice of engineers, in the discussion which followed Mr. Helsby's paper.
IN olden days there was little distinction between an engineer and an architect, and Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was the greatest engineer as well as the greatest architect of his time, but he probably would have been very surprised if anybody had attempted to separate these two functions of his activity.
