The Structural Engineer, Volume 16, Issue 10, 1938
THE Institution’s headquarters are now established in the new premises at No. 11, Upper Belgrave Street, London, S.W.l. For some time past it was felt that the premises at No; 10, Upper Belgrave Street were becoming inadequate in view of the increasing activities of the Institution. Most important was the fact that the meeting hall could no longer accommodate the numbers attending the general meetings.
Mr. D. H. GREEN, O.B.E., M.C., B.Sc, M.I.Struct.E., A.M.Tnst.C.E., said that he was sure everyone had listened with great interest to this paper and had appreciated the tremendous amount of work that must have gone to its preparation with the extraction of all the historical details which the author had given them.
Before describing the Unit-Construction bridges which form the subject of this paper, it is appropriate to consider briefly the procedure which normally has to be adopted before a given bridge of conventional type can be produced. The process is much the same whether the structure is for permanent or temporary service, at home or abroad, and can be summarised in three stages. C.O. Boyse
