Excerpt from German Technical Schools
The instruction in civil engineering is thorough, and the equipment is all that could be desired. Great rooms packed with models of pontoon bridges, arches, earthworks, light houses, dams and the like; cabinets of building stone and cement; ordinary planimeters and current velocity measurers by the dozen; scores of levels, transits and theodolites; all attest the importance of this subject. In mechanical engineering the museum equipment is rich in kinematical models, besides avery complete line of models of railroad switches, locomotives, tur bines, valve gears, governors, pumps and the like. Altogether the Munich Technische Hochschule is an admirable institution, and the local authorities may well dispute the claim that other schools surpass it in efficiency.
