The Structural Engineer, Volume 35, Issue 6, 1957
THE CHAIRMAN first conveyed the apologies of the President, Mr. J. Guthrie Brown, for his inability to be present. He had to attend another function that evening and he had asked that his apologies be tendered to the meeting.
AFTER Mr. Andrews had presented his paper, the PRESIDENT, expressing the thanks of the meeting and of the Institution to the Author, said he was sure members had found the slides interesting, and they had helped to make even clearer what was a very well written paper. The slides were exceptionally good, and the coloured ones particularly had added to the value of the additional information Mr. Andrews had given.
MR. LANCASTER presented the paper. He said that as soon as Mr. Richards and himself had commenced the preparatory work it had become very obvious that without illustration to a degree impracticable in the printed form, the paper would tend to become a sea of words. The Authors had seen the project develop on site before their eyes, an advantage to them-but a disadvantage to those reading the published account.
