Abstract
THE meeting of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers was held last week in the theatre of the Institution of Civil Engineers, on Thursday and Friday evenings, April 19 and 20. The chair was taken by the President, Prof. Alexander B. W. Kennedy, F.R.S. Two papers were read at the meeting: the first, “On,the Grafton High Speed Engine,” by Mr. E. W. Anderson; and the second, “On Fluid Pressure Reversing Gear,” by Mr. David Joy. The President's address was, however, the chief feature of the meeting, and to this we shall mainly confine our report, more especially as it would be difficult to give an adequate description of the mechanical devices upon which the two papers were founded without somewhat elaborate illustrations.
