The Structural Engineer, Volume 14, Issue 2, 1936
Has it occurred to you that some one or other of the professional advisory bodies of the building industry might act as a clearing house for codes, etc., affecting structural work and that it would be well if all building organisations interested were to make up their minds as to which body they would use for this purpose and stand by their decision.
Mr. C. J. JACKAMAN, A.M.Inst.C.E. (Member of Council), proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Turner for his very instructive and interesting paper. Mr. Jackaman confessed that he was almost envious of Mr. Turner’s experience, which must be unique in its character, because he had been dealing with very heavy structures built on strata such as we could not visualise in this country; and he was to be congratulated most heartily on the success which had attended his efforts.
Mr. MACBRIDE, having presented the paper, exhibited a cinematograph film showing some of the details of the welded joints and of the structure generally, and the actual process of welding. He commented upon the extreme simplicity of the floor beams, and upon the fact that the connections were welded very quickly.
