hi,
A few of the interesting articles written about the Dam were by Major
(later Colonel) John Pennycuick, considered the "Chief Engineer" of the
Dam. He wrote about his for the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1897. The
edition can be found here.[1] The edition contains chapters on the
"Diversion of the Periyar" and "The Periyar Tunnel" followed by
discussion
and correspondences on the same. I really wish we did more stuff like this
in 2011, but that is a different discussion.
Interestingly, these articles - dated to 1897 (!!!) are pay-walled. Each
of the article I mentioned above costs GBP 18!
Help is needed on trying to get these articles so that they can inform the
Wikipedia article now under Collaboration of the Month. I am hoping to
write to the UK Wikimedia Chapter and the Institution of Civil Engineers,
UK to see if copies of these can be obtained. Does anyone on-list see any
possibility of getting a copy otherwise?
warm regards,
