Abstract
The paper has been written as the result of evidence to the effect that the general standard of the application of plant to the requirements of the civil engineer in this country is in need of improvement. After brief reference to the position of the mechanical engineer in civil engineering industry, sections are devoted to repair depots, site maintenance, stores, mechanical plant organization, and personnel. The methods advocated have been tried in practice during some years' experience with a considerable volume of widely differing classes of plant, employed on contract sites of various types and sizes. No attempt is made to explain the actual work of operating and maintaining any particular type or make of machine—a matter which is related to the intention of the paper only to the extent by which the same principles of organization might apply.
