In conclusion, the author thinks that, considering the number of " sports " in the genus testing-machine which have sprung up and died out or become obsolete during the intervening period, it is noteworthy to find that the Cardiff machine, for the installation of which our Vice-President, Sir William Thomas Lewis, is responsible, confirms the soundness of the main principles which were first brought into practice so long ago in this same County of Glamorgan ; and it is a pleasure to have had this opportunity of reviewing and bringing to light he work of the Cyfarthfa pioneer who, long before the author was born, constructed the prototype of the most modern testing machines, including the [Lloyd's] Bute Proving House Chain and Anchor Testing Machine of 1906.
