Telectroscope is open for business

About ten days ago I posted this entry: Big Engineering projects - the London to New York transatlantic tunnel about the trans-Atlantic tunnel stretching from near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City to London, England. This tunnel was completed one hundred years ago this month (May) and the Grandson of the original engineer re-discovered it, restored it and installed a new Telectroscope based on his grandfathers design. There are now news articles about it's opening, some photographs and more information. Here is the New York City end: Here is the London end: News items: The Gothamist (a good overview), CNN/Europe (the story from London) and FOX and the Wall Street Journal (the story from New York City). A fascinating look at how extraordinary some of the older Engineering projects have been. We think that we are clever monkeys now but our ancestors did some amazing large-scale work themselves...
