From the section on transporter bridges. The Newport Transporter Bridge still operates, run as a charitable organisation, open in the summer months. It was built in 1906. The Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge was built in 1905, the first of its type in Britain and the largest in the world. It closed in 1961 and was demolished.
A very informative boys’ (in those days!) book on engineering feats published in the late 1920s or early 1930s by Ward, Lock & Co of London and Melbourne. Although it is not dated, it is possible to ascertain the rough period from the content. The Hudson River Bridge in New York is shown, described with an artist’s impression of the “proposed” bridge which was actually completed and opened to traffic in 1936.
This building is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever come across - such an amazing design. Taken in: Pretoria / Main Campus / University of Pretoria
The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most famous Aircraft of World War Two, and certainly the most famous Fighter Aircraft of the 20th century, originally developed in the mid-1930's, the Spitfire was designed by Supermarine Aviation Works to fill Air Ministry specification F7/30, calling for a 'Modern Fighter' capable of flying at 250 mph. Although this isn’t all that fast by modern standards, it was like a lightning bolt compared to the earlier Biplane Fighters that had been used in the preceding World War.
As a result of the sheer volume of engineering and production difficulties that had to be overcome, the Aircraft that would become the 'Spitfire' underwent a series of re-designs and name changes, before receiving approval to develop a flying prototype using the Type 300 design.
Over the course of its 10 year (1938 to 1948) production run, over 20,000 Spitfires were built in a wide variety of configurations. Most were powered by the iconic 'Rolls-Royce Merlin Engine' a 27 liter V12 Aero Engine that saw broad use in a multitude of Aircraft during and after World War Two, including a Packard-Built variant that powered the North American P-51 Mustang. During World War Two, the Supermarine Spitfire became famous among the people on both sides of the conflict, and the sight of an airborne Spitfire on an intercept course would make the blood of any Luftwaffe Pilot run cold ‼️
Supermarine Spitfire TD314 was built at Castle Bromwich in late 1944 and was fitted with a Rolls-Royce Merlin 70 Engine. As a High Level Fighter (HFIXE) she was one of the last 'high back' Spitfires built as the production line switched to 'low back' Aircraft in February of 1945. She was delivered to 33 Maintenance Unit at RAF Lyneham on 30th March 1945, transferring later that month to 30 Maintenance Unit before a further move to 6 Maintenance Unit where she was prepared for service with 183 (Gold Coast) Squadron at RAF Chilbolton on the 24th June 1945.
183 Squadron only kept its Spitfire's for a short time before re-equipping with Hawker Tempest's. TD314 moved to 234 (Madras Presidency) Squadron at RAF Bentwaters on 26th July 1945, it is in this Squadrons Colours that she is currently finished with the Squadron Codes of FX-P. Whilst with 234 Squadron it is possible that TD314 took part in the 1945 ''Battle of Britain Flypast'' over London. When 234 Squadron converted to Gloster Meteor's, TD314 was transferred to 29 Maintenance Unit at RAF High Ercall for disposal on the 27th February 1946.
In early 1948 TD314 was selected as one of the 136 Spitfire IX's to be sold to the South African Air Force and she was sent to 47 Maintenance Unit RAF Sealand where she was packed for shipment, leaving Birkenhead on the SS 'Clan Chattan' 23rd April and arriving at Cape Town on the 12th May 1948. Details of her use with the South African Air Force are not known but she was sold for scrapping to the South African Metal ''Machinery Company'' Salt River, Cape Town, sometime during 1954. She remained in the scrap yard until recovered by Larry Barnett of Johannesburg in 1969. From there she passed through the hands of several owners before arriving in the United Kingdom via Canada in 2009. Acquired by ''Aero Legends'' in 2011, restoration commenced at Biggin Hill culminating in a first flight on the 7th December 2013. TD314 is heavily featured in the new 'Haynes Manual' on Spitfire restoration having its picture pride of place on the front cover. TD314 has been named “St. George” which is prominently displayed on her fuselage.

Dr. Jeffrey Siegel, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin displays equations relating to the ideal gas law in office.
Dr. Siegel recently received the Early Career Award from the International Society of Exposure Analysis to research the efficacy of particle removal in ion air purification devices.
His research interests include design of energy-efficient buildings, indoor air quality, and indoor particle dynamics. He is currently interested in resuspension of particles from building surfaces, protecting buildings.

In its 22nd year, the Engineering Expo is the college’s premier community outreach event. On average, the college welcomes more than 1,500 K-12 students from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools (elementary, middle, and high school) to the FIU Engineering Center to engage with FIU student organizations, researchers and staff, and to discover the endless possibilities of pursuing a degree in engineering or computing.
The College of Engineering dedicated this newly renovated space thanks to a generous donation from Steven and Barbara Kohler. Barbara is the daughter of the late Aaron Friedman, a former College of Engineering faculty member who grew up in Detroit, served in the U.S. Navy and was a successful entrepreneur.
More working parts of the big Ellenroad mill steam engines. Each rotation of the shaft lifts the piston above, which then drops suddenly giving a squirt of oil to the bearings of the main engine.
Still obviously under construction, but it looks like a pretty interesting (and pretty imposing) building. Looks like there'll be a LOT of glass, and the view from this side (out onto the river) will be nice.
The Tool is a sixty-inch triple chrome-plated adjustable pipe wrench, forged by the Ridge Tool Company of Elyria, OH, USA. It is the only known fully chromed pipe wrench of its type in the world, and is the mascot of the University of Waterloo Engineering Society. Its history goes back to the early days of the University.
In the late 1960s, the Engineering Society had no official mascot. Being barely 10 year old, the Society decided to begin the process of selecting and acquiring an object that would become the Society’s official mascot and icon – something to represent the immense pride and spirit that Waterloo Engineering had.
Several ideas were discussed, but the two most popular ideas for a mascot were a pipe wrench (a symbol of the “Plummer and Proud of It” attitude championed by Ken Loach, Chemical ’71), and a sword. Through a public vote in meetings of both Society “A” and Society “B”, it was determined that the wrench would be the mascot, and it would be big.
Jim Pike, Society “A” President at the time, then began the search for the new mascot, and while on a co-op work term, found a suitable choice: the Ridge Tool Company’s straight pipe wrench model No. 60. However, at a cost of $350, it was unattainable for the young Engineering Society.
Jim decided to send a letter to the Ridge Tool Company and explain what they wanted to do, what the wrench would mean to the society, and if they would donate one. The company’s response was an overwhelming “yes” with only two conditions: that it would be known as “The Ridgid Tool”, and that it would retain its original orange colours out of respect for the Ridge Tool Company.
The Tool was chromed within a few hours of Pike picking it up from the supplier in the summer of 1968, although he admits that he “should have had a Chemical Engineer along to explain what happens to orange paint in a chrome dip.” As for the name “The Ridgid Tool”, he won’t say what exactly happened, except that it did get lots of mileage and notoriety before the official name change.
With The Tool coming to the University of Waterloo, it was determined that a group of dedicated students was needed to protect it and thus, the Action Committee was formed. It was their duty to be the official guardians of the Tool in public and in private. Over time, these students came to be known as Tool Bearers, and the Action Committee was dissolved. There are no publicly known details about the Tool Bearers today, except that whenever the Tool is around, they are as well, silently guarding it in their black and gold uniform.
