A little consideration, a word of commendation, to the man whose careful, conscientious thought and skill in the early stages of an important job have made it a trium- phant success, is not only his due, but would go a long way to remove that feeling of injustice and dull resentment that was so pronounced in recent correspondence in the engineering papers.

The time-honoured custom whereby engineering draughtsmen must have worked in the shops and become accustomed to the feel and touch of the materials of construction and the handling of tools is an eminently wise provision; and no doubt accounts for the marvellously "few bloomers' that occur.
