Motley information

Step by step, a motley collection of information on hydraulic engineering themes is being created here. Many interesting things you can also found in our current and completed projects.

  • 125 years of Calibration of Hydrometrical Current-Meters in Austria

    This picture shows in black and white how it looked at that time. On the far left is the residential house with 4 floors, which still stands today, in front of it is the garage entrance (high entrance at that time), the window of it shows the actual room of the workshop. In the middle the actual main entrance to the institute, just behind the wall a tree is clearly visible, which is replaced by another tree. On the far right, a large gate to (what was then) the Experimental Institute for Motor Vehicles (today it houses the rehearsal stage of the Volksoper). A road runs in front.
