The Structural Engineer, Volume 3, Issue 2, 1925
There are two subjects which may be said to have gripped the imagination of engineering scientists for the past 70 years; they are the strength of columns and the fatigue of metals. Both have this in common that the further they are investigated the more we realise that, they are more complex than we previously realised, and that many of our previous ideas upon them have to be scrapped or revised. Hon. Editor
HAVING treated in broad general outline the subject of housing in the Netherlands, and having set out the difficulties that have been encountered in the course of the efforts made by the Dutch people to grapple with the various phases of this complex problem, and explained the measures invoked by the authorities in their endeavours to correct, the troubles produced partly by neglect in the matter of housing extending over a generation or two, and partly as the direct result of the great war, I venture to believe that it will be of general interest briefly to examine the methods of building adopted by the Dutch authorities, and the character, type and standard of the housing accommodation provided during the period particularly under review at the moment. Sir Charles T. Ruthen
Between the Brunels and the Rennies there is a marked resemblance in that in both cases a distinguished father begat a distinguished son who was able to continue the work successfully initiated. A. Trystan Edwards
