ICE Library acquires 'lost' Telford letters

I see in this week's NCE (10th Sept) that fellow network member Mike Chrimes writes of the new acquisition by the ICE library of letters from Telford to Scottish scientist Patrick Copland. Telford asks Copland for his opinion on various designs he's working on, such as a masonty bridge over the River Dun — the article proposes this as evidence that Telford was always looking to innovate. Interesting.

Musing on the smallest TV screen in the world

The latest edition of Ingenia magazine has just turned up on my door mat and the last article really caught my eye. Seems engineers in Edinburgh have cracked the challenge of designing personal video glasses ... ultra-low powered TV screens just the size of a finger nail. I want some right NOW .... check out the article at www.ingenia.org.uk.

Notes

New website tracks power-generation CO2 emissions

A great new website -- www.realtimecarbon.org -- tracks the real time 'carbon intensity' of electricity generation in the UK, with the idea of encouraging us to use less at peak times ... cool site. Check it out.
