I O . — R A N K OF ILLINOIS AS A MANUFACTURING STATE FIG. 9 . — R A N K OF STATES IN MANUFACTURING studies of problems of importance to professional engineers, and to the manufacturing, mining, railway, constructional and industrial interests of the State. It is believed that this experimental work will result in contributions of value to engineering science and to the industries of the State and that the pursuit of such investigations will give inspiration to students and add to the value of the instructional work in the College of Engineering. Equipment and Facilities—In carrying on the activities of the Engineering Experiment Station, there is necessary a large amount ©i equipment of various kinds suitable for investigational purposes. The regular equipment provided for instruction in the College of Engineering has largely been used for these investigations, supplemented by the purchase of additional apparatus necessary for special researches in the Engineering Experiment Station. After an investigation has been concluded, the apparatus used becomes a part of the equipment of the department to which it most naturally belongs. The item of expense for equipment, therefore, does not enter into the general expenses of the Engineering Experiment Station. (The value of this total equipment in the College of Engineering is now [April 1909] about $225,000.)
