ENGINEERS AND WAR
BRITISH INGENUITY The war was going to be an engineer’s war, and indications were that British engineering was not going to play second fiddle, said Mr. A. C. Mitchell, replying to the toast of the engineering industry at the annual social gathering of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Institute of'Marine and Power Engineers. The British product was showing superiority already, said Mr. Mitchell. There was no doubt that further sacrifices would be called for, because of unfair enemy action. The magnetic mine was the invention of the devjl, but measures to counter it had been perfected. There again was evidence of the ingenuity and acumen of the British engineer.
