                       TRIBUTE TO LOCKWOOD GREENE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BOB INGLIS

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 12, 1997

  Mr. INGLIS of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize 
Lockwood Greene, one of the country's largest design-build consulting 
firms and a fine company located in Spartanburg, SC, in my district. On 
February 19, Lockwood Greene will donate more than 5,000 original 
engineering drawings to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American 
History so they may be preserved for all to enjoy.
  The works date to the mid-1800's and provide a historical look at how 
America evolved as new technologies were invented. Included in the 
collection are drawings, depicting how power was transmitted through a 
factory before the introduction of electricity; drawings recording the 
emergence of water as a form of power; and designs for radio stations 
that were built shortly after World War II. Lockwood Greene has a long 
history of contributions to engineering, beginning with its founding in 
New England in 1832 and continuing today with its headquarters in South 
Carolina.
  I commend Lockwood Greene and its chairman, Donald R. Luger, for 
their tremendous gift to the Smithsonian and for preserving these 
wonderful designs, which lend so much insight into the history of both 
American engineering and our cultural development. I am pleased to 
represent the employees of Lockwood Greene.
