| description | Cutcliffe features Lehigh University's Fritz Engineering Laboratory and its five-million-pound universal testing machine. The new Fritz lab and its testing equipment propelled Lehigh into a position of leadership in materials testing and structural research, especially in the area of reinforced concrete, then coming into vogue, but also with regard to variious new alloys of steel. Here, Cutcliffe tells that everything about the machine is big and heavy wherein almost nothing is moved by hand, but by the twenty-ton overhead crane or by a smaller chain lift on the machine itself. |
