Technology as it then was - 1956 Archival pictures
Quote:
In 1956, the centenary issue of The Engineer sought to undertake pictorially ‘the difficult task of contemplating the whole art and science of engineering’ as practised in its own day.
The introduction to this beautiful selection of illustrations stated: ‘The selection is necessarily inadequate. So vast is the scale of engineering endeavour that were every page of this Number given over to such illustrations an incomplete conception would still be conveyed of the work undertaken by engineers.’
This picture gallery offers a small selection of the pictures in the presentation.
