Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers, Vol. 11: Royal Engineers Institute, Occasional Papers; 1885 The Volume now published for 1885, which should have been issued to subscribers in 1886, but could not be got ready in time, contains much useful information with respect to both civil and military engineering. The lectures on Road Making in Western India, by Captain W. W. Robinson, give an account of work actually done, and form a link between the instruction given at Chatham and the practical work which has to be carried on in whatever part of the world the Engineer may be located. The lectures on Frontier Railways in India are not only of engineering but also of historical interest, and form a capital sequel to the lectures on Road Making; the account of the difficulties experienced in the work, and how they were overcome, will be a valuable guide to those who have to undertake similar operations in the future. The illustrations we re-produce will, it is hoped, give some idea of the country through which the line runs. Lieutenant Nathans paper on the Sûdan Military Railway might, in sequence, well follow on after the Indian Frontier Railways, for where the one treats on the difficulties of construction, the other deals more with the difficulties of working the railway. Captain Tizard, R.N., contributes a lecture on Marine Surveying, which we are glad to welcome to our pages. The Admiralty charts are so much used in the various duties of the Corps, that it is interesting to have an account of their preparation, especially as the Royal Navy and the Corps in this and other branches of their work come so closely together, in surveying particularly, for here they are only separated by the low water line. The Application of Infantry Fire in the Field, by Captain C. B. Mayne, will, we anticipate, be well received, as it deals with the same subject as his book on Infantry Fire Tactics which attracted so much attention a year ago.
