The Soldiers from the Fort A.P. Hill-based 310th Engineer Company spent Friday morning July 20, 2018 building float bridges at White's Lake.
Engineer Archie Shafer came to Spencerport during his time as a surveyor on the 1000 Ton Barge Canal project in the early 1900s; he liked it so much he stayed, opened a store and raised a family. In 2003, one of Shafer’s descendants, Penny Shafer Pero, donated a collection of Shafer’s papers and photographs to the Town of Ogden. Shafer, an amateur photographer, kept a photo journal of his work along the Canal and the collection contains many behind-the-scenes shots of the Barge Canal work. This photo is part of that collection.
Engineers played an important role in the building of the Erie Canal in the early 1800s, as well as in its reconstruction 100 years later. Constructing a waterway through some of the most dense wilderness in the northeast required men who were logical but creative thinkers. These men devised a lever and winch system that allowed them to fell up to 40 huge trees a day; if required to use the conventional axe and saw methods, it would have taken decades to remove as many trees. They also constructed another type of winch which they used to yank up stumps. This contraption was said to have had a 30 foot axle and 16 foot wheels — a forerunner to the monster machines of today! Perhaps the most serious setback these early engineers encountered was the lack of waterproof cement available in the United States in the early 1800s. The only waterproof cement available at the time was manufactured in Europe and obtaining it would have delayed the project and driven up the cost substantially. Engineer Canvass White saved the day when he developed his own waterproof material using limestone found along the canal bed.

Charles Ellet, Jr. (1 January 1810 – 21 June 1862) was a civil engineer and a colonel during the American Civil War, mortally wounded at the Battle of Memphis.
Ellet was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, brother of Alfred W. Ellet, also a civil engineer and a brigadier general in the Union Army during the war.
Charles studied civil engineering at École Polytechnique in Paris, France, and in 1832 submitted proposals for a suspension bridge across the Potomac River. In 1842, he designed the first wire-cable suspension bridge in the United States, spanning 358 feet over the Schuylkill River at Fairmount, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He designed the record-breaking Wheeling suspension bridge over the Ohio River at Wheeling in 1848, and a 770-foot suspension footbridge at Niagara Falls at the same time. His other civil engineering accomplishments include improving flood control and navigation of mid-western rivers and planning the layout of railways in Virginia.
The Secretary of War appointed him colonel of engineers and tasked him with developing the United States Ram Fleet.
He was mortally wounded during the Battle of Memphis while on board Queen of the West, dying fifteen days later.
Ellet published a Report of the Overflows of the Delta of the Mississippi River, which helped to reshape New Orlean's waterfront. George Perkins Marsh published Man and Nature fourteen years later, but it was Ellet who first noted in writing that the artificial embankments created an overflowing delta. It would be decades later that his assertions were taken seriously and used in flood control decisions.
His son Charles Rivers Ellet was a colonel in the Union Army.

People often ask, “what do software engineers do?” They confuse this field with software developers who build different software components. In reality, software engineer design and build the framework or model on which developers build software. Know more here: bit.ly/3w50LNB
