Better men than I have told you of the engineering side of Oleg’s life. But, I am only one whom Shakespeare described as a ‘rude mechanical’ and will tell you of the time when Oleg did not give engineering a single thought and intended to be a lawyer-cum-politician like his father. Alas, we arrived in England more or less penniless, and it was financially impossible to pick and choose. Gleb Kerensky

In common with most Branches, the Wales Branch holds a series of Ordinary Meetings through the autumn, winter, and spring. In addition we have a dinner/dance, a Students’ evening, and a committee dinner. This type of calendar is, I believe, a traditional format which has remained unchanged for many years and was originally devised to serve a much smaller, and perhaps more involved, membership. H.D.

Mr R. Rumbold (F) (Chief Engineer, Merseyside Development Corporation): On behalf of the Development Corporation, I would like to thank and congratulate the authors of both papers. Their splendid accounts of the structural investigations and restoration works on the Albert Dock buildings record the very substantial contribution by structural engineers to one of the most significant steps in the regeneration of Liverpool’s waterfront. I thought that John Tallis was a little modest at the beginning of his address when he was describing the other works of desilting and dock gate construction; they were, in fact, also carried out on behalf of the Development Corporation by Ward, Ashcroft & Parkman.
