The “G” Section of the British Association

Abstract

PERHAPS I may be allowed to make a few remarks concerning the above Section, and the strictures passed on October 22 upon its work, by the writer of the report in your columns. The writer is not singular in his criticisms, for others representing the scientific and practical sides of engineering also speak from time to time in a disparaging way, both of the subjects themselves, which are dealt with under the head of Mechanical Science at these annual gatherings, and of the methods of dealing with them.
