ENGINEERS OLD AND NEW
"A.W.T." in his cynical frame of mind has paid too much attention to "Spanner" who was introduced to make a point, and missed the real point of the article as a whole, we know what rules are for and we know that they can be misapplied because of red tape, as they were in the case of "Spanner," who is not a Mac., Swiss admiral or push-button engineer, neither does he have red hair. "Spanner" is a very practical engineer. He has saved his ship in the Arctic wastes and rigged his gear for major repairs in the steamy atmosphere of the equator; he is - equally at home with that two-foot monkey wrench or pencil ana draughting board. He is hidden as. to identity but I can assure "A.W.T. that he is a very live character ana not taken from a story book. It "A,W-T." will read the article again he may see what is implied in it as # a whole. I reiterate, "Whom have we left?" S.R.S.
