Description

Retiring President's address by Walter Eric Bassett, MC MMechE BEE MIEAust, to the twenty-third Annual General Meeting of The Institution of Engineers, Australia. (At Melbourne, Victoria, 29th March, 1943.)

Abstract

Reflecting on the war and previous wars, this address explores the rapid changes and industrialisation that have been necessitated by war; the role that engineers have played - including specific mentions of leading members of The Institution; man power and The Institution; aircraft production; allied works; air-conditioning of munition plants; military hospitals; and the RAAF low-pressure chamber. Brief mention is made of solving other complex technical problems, such as communications under different atmospheric conditions, and solving problems in submarines and tanks.
