THE MILLWHEEL Pagel Introduction f f - Preface to a construction job . . . the year 1950-51. Year of the girders, the bulldozers and the brickbats . . . of arm- chair builders . . . and window watchers . . . The year blueprints became an actuality . . . as the eyes of the open-mouthed on-lookers followed hot rivets through thin air . . . or popped as men walked nonchalantly across space. Little by little, the work progressed, and little by little the book took shape-a blueprint of a busy year . . . an impor- tant year . . . of wartime destruction, disillusion, and shock . . . but also of hope-and construction.
