Description: Extract from the Chairman's Address presented by A. A. Watkins, AMIEAust, to the Adelaide Division, 3rd May 1929.
Abstract: In this address the chairman stressed that, as engineers, we must all pay heed to new developments that are taking place around us, and amongst these, during the past thirty years, the petrol engine has made greater changes in the living conditions of civilised peoples than any other engineering development. It has proved its utility. Its applications are widespread, and particularly it has enabled aviation to be established. He then described some aspects of aviation and aeronautical engineering generally, covering history, air survey, Australian airways, aero clubs, flying in Europe and America, recent developments, and aero engines.
