There has been
a lot said about the Channel Bridge proposal of Boris Johnson, the headline
grabber in chief of the Conservative Party. We have been here before.
In the issue of "The Engineer" for 27 January 1893,
page 85, there is an article discussing what would be required in a positive
way. It suggests a bridge would be superior to a tunnel.
One of the
requirements would be, quote, "a most comprehensive and elaborate system
of illumination signals and foghorns", which perhaps brings us back to
Boris.
Over on page
86 as the article continues at the bottom of the middle of the page are nine
lines about a talk given to the Society of Arts given by Professor Fleming FRS
on electrical currencies.
Whatever
happened to electricity?
