The time has arrived when the English structural engineers have the opportunity of making a most material contribution towards our national progress, and with it, aid a return to better times. Alfred C. Bossom

In the sense that there is nothing new under the sun the title of this paper is misleading. In the sense that the ideas set forth could be dug out of literature found on dusty shelves the title would be deceiving. In the sense that the present writer has been emphasizing these ideas for a decade or two the title is camouflage. Edward Godfrey
