Engineering was edited by W. H. Maw & B. Alfred Raworth.
The Bedford Press in the parish of St. martin's in the fields.
Charles Robert Johnson offices of Egnieering 35 and 36 Bedford St, parish of St. Paul, covent Garden 1911 volume 91, 92.
volume 91 bound in yellow, volume 92 in green.
This year does not have that much information in it on Titanic. It does have the plates in the May 26, 1911 issue of the plans to the ship "The White Star Atlantic Liners Olympic and titanic" but these plans are reproduced in the 1912 issue when she went down as the titanic.
September 29, 1911 The collission between the HMS Hawke and the Olympic. not much information a picture of the bashed in Hawke Bow and a not very useful picture of the Olympic showing the damage. Up close just the damaged part.
Not much in this issue, but I did notice an index to advertisers, complete with addresses, for everything you could imagine. Olympia had an electrical convention.
The most exciting thing in 1911 was the launch of the first navy derigible and its eventual crash a few months later.
Each issue has an article on the state of the Navy, throughout the Engineering volumes. Any subject could be addressed, and all not specific. There is a list of telegraph offices of all of the major manufacturers that is severla pages long. Also the list of advertisers is divided by what they make. Several paint manufacturers were listed with addresses. But since these bound versions of Engineering do not have the ads, I do not know which were used in the ship.
The descriptions of the main rooms were general information, which we have all seen before. The only exceptions was a good photograph of the gymanasium with a good picture of the world map and paintings as well as the machinery and windows. It must have been made with a wide angle lens!
