Before beginning the paper proper, perhaps a word or so will not be out of
place on the pronunciation of the title, whether it is “Acoostics ” or “Acowstics.”
As a matter of fact, both styles seem to be correct, one dictionary giving one form and one another. The “New Oxford” gives both. Also I understand that “Acoostics” is preferred in Scotland. We may, therefore, safely assume that it is a matter of individual choice.

Some Reminiscences - II

About 1857, when I was living at Poplar, the building of the Leviathun steamship, designed by the great Brunel, was going on, and I remember walking to the further end of the Isle of Dogs to see it lying on the shore after the first attempt at launching. At that time there were one or two small factories near the Folly House on the north-east corner of the island, but otherwise it was all pasture land and marsh intersected by narrow roads and ditches. The ship, afterwards known as the Great Eastern, was marvellous for its enormous size and construction. It had several paddle-wheels and screw propellers with their respective engines, but was so extravagant in fuel that I believe it made only one paying voyage, and that was in laying the Atlantic Telegraph cable.

Great engineers 8: James Brindley

The making of canals is a very important branch of structural engineering. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the Suez and Panama canals are among the greatest engineering exploits ever performed. The subject of the present article has no such great work to his credit, but his name is of importance in the history of engineering because he was the chief pioneer of canal construction, and when one considers the limited means at his disposal, his achievement is a very remarkable one.
