After working for a time at the Royal Observatory, Simms assisted Henry Robinson Palmer and later Sir William Cubitt on the South Eastern Railway. He was awarded the Telford medal by the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1842 for his articles on tunnelling, and further employment on railways in England and France was followed by engineering consultancies to the East India Company and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. He gained greatest recognition, however, as the author of authoritative engineering textbooks, notably this work, first published in 1844. Considered the standard textbook on the subject at the time, it sets out the approved practices of the day, using the Bletchingley and Saltwood tunnels, whose construction Simms supervised, as key examples. A number of technical illustrations accompany the text.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmItem Width: 11mmItem Weight: 370gAuthor: Frederick Walter SimmsGenre: Technology & EngineeringBook Series: Cambridge Library Collection - TechnologyRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
