Construction Defenses: ROBERT, Henry Martyn, American military engineer and parliamentarian : b. Robertville, S. C, May 2, 1837; d. Hornell, N. Y., May 11, 1923. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1857, and during the Civil War was in charge of the construction defenses of defenses at Washington, D. C., Philadelphia, Pa., and New Bedford, Mass. From 1867 to 1901, when he was promoted brigadier general, he held many important military engineering posts in the United States, including that of president of the United States Board of Engineers for Fortifications (from 1895).
The cover was an in dustrial photograph by Margaret Bourke-White of th< construction defenses of a great dam near Fort Peck, Montana, k the style for which, as a photographer for Fortune, she was noted. The opening picture story, however, focused not on the construction defenses, but on the life of the builders oi the dam and their families in temporary cities in the desert. It was not what the editors had assigned, and they wrote, by way of introduction:
What the Editors expected—for use in some later issue-were construction defenses pictures as only Bourke-White can take them. What the Editors got was a human document of frontier life which, to them at least, was a revelation.
The requirements of the Rules apply to steel vessels of all welded construction defenses. Riveted construction defenses, where used, is to comply with the applicable parts dealing with riveting in the 1969 edition of the Rules. |
