BOB AB80TT it working with o universal testing machine. IwoIugs VCtAte h utjplM fljb CARt A. NEIDENGARD, head of the department of Civil Engineering, shows models of a hyperbolic paraboloid, o stressed frame project, and a scale model railroad trestle. Except for the trestle, all of these were built by the engineering students for Engineering Week dis- plays. The original of the paraboloid arch stood 24 feet above the ground, and the stressed frame towered 36 feet in height—almost os high os the Engineering 8uilding. Every year a project is built to show examples of engineering design and construction by the Civil Engi- neering students, and is exhibited to visiting high school students during Engineering Week. The trestle was built to perfect scale, and the concrete beams which reinforce it were octuolly prc-slrosscd with steel members by a former student of the Deportment.
