Abstract :
AMERICAN engineers have been instrumental in giving to the United States Army and to the Signal Corps of the Army the best equipment in the world. Although engineering for civilian needs is very different from engineering for military needs, and most American engineers have spent a lifetime in civilian engineering, they have learned within a brief period of two or three years to design equipment to meet military needs and are now, in fact, military engineers.
