INVENT, INVENT, INVENT

We would say. then, to all young engineers; “Develop in yourself the art of inventing; invent anything and everything, and do not mind whether profitable or not —a mechanical toy will give you almost as much training as a gas turbine—but invent, invent, invent. Keen on thinking out new ways of doing things and study them from every aspect . Yon will not only find that you will add to your own power, but you will discover in scores of eases reasons why improvements cannot ho adopted. Yon will appreciate the fact that inventions have their commercial limits, and the host way of doing something mechanically is not always'the best way of doing something commercially. But, above all. yon will develop the powers you may have of looking at tho tilings around you in a now aspect, which is the beginning of greatness in engineering.—“The Engineer.”
