These carefully preserved instruments at Mount Vernon could be used today by engineers and draftsmen. George Wash-ington used the set as a young man in his surveying and map drawing work. Who was the first head of a government to express the belief that aeronautics could be useful to mankind? Tha answer: No less a person-age than oar own first President, George Washington. This week February 19-2- which happens to- - be National Engineers' Week, the members of one of the country's largest professions are pointing to Gen-eral Washington as a man who was not only a great soldier and statesman, but also one of the Brst engineer-builder- s who laid the foundation for modern America. The question about Washing-ton's Interest in aeronautics may come as a surprise to most people today, considering that he died a century before the Wright . Brothers got off the ground. However, when the French balloonist Jean Pierre Blanchard made the first balloon ascension In Philadelphia (and the Western Hemisphere) on January 9, 1793, President Washington went to the scene and personally Issued Blanchard a "passport" urging all citizens to come to the aero-naut's aid if necessary. The President's remarks at this event :learly indicate that he believed ,n the futurs development of air travel. Trained Surveyor Washington, a trained sur-veyor who began actual land sur-veying at the age of 16, was a practical builder who left his mark throughout the Colonies long before he was offered the command of the Revolutionary forces. In his early military career he had the responsibility for the planning and construction of many roads, blockhouses, stock-ades, and forts. He not only as-signed and supervised this work but often drew up the detailed plans for the buildings himself. One of his wilderness roads was eventually to become the great coast to coast highway, U. 8. Route 40. As'a strategist in the Revolutionary War his battle plans showed Washington as a man with a deep grasp of terrain and fortification condi-tions. Many drafts of plans for camps and battlefields are in his own hand. Washington's unique role as a general, statesman, and technical-m-inded engineer is clearly shown in the museum at historic Mt. Vernon. There, along with his battle swords and official papers, are displayed his map drawing and surveying instru-ments. Scientific Books The numerous scientific books on the shelves of Washington's ML Vernon study further sug-gest a man with a strongly curi-ous mind concerning technical progress. Among the books is many-volum- e set entitled "Dictionary of the Arts and ; Sciences," an 18th Century Brit-ish encyclopedia devoted to ma-chines, Instruments, tools, geog-raphy, and a variety of other scientific topics. Washington's letters and dia-jls- s reflect tha lively interest foldings, and would be very suc-cessful in all large families." Engineering Side The engineering side of Wash-ington would be no stranger in today's "large families" where ironing machines and a whole battery of other gadgets are reg-ularly used. The "civil" aspects of his engi-neering talents were exemplified in his personal supervision of the details of the original planning and laying-ou- t of the Capital City that was to bear his name. In his formal education mid technical training, George Wash-ington could hardly be called a professional engineer as we know the term today. But Wash-ington was in spirit and attitude every bit the engineer-scienti- st type. His limitations were only the limitations of science itself In his day. In his advice-fille- d farewell ad-dress to Ihe young Republic, Washington urged that the citi-zens ". . . Promote then as an object of primary Importance, institutions for the general dif-fusion of knowledge." As the nation's approximately 400,000 engineers observe their Week, it is obvious that a con-siderable amount of technical knowledge has been "diffused" since Washington's day. 20th Ceniury Career Enslneerine in the 20th Cen- - which he took in new inventions and discoveries. In 1784 he was greatly impressed by an adver-tisement for a "tree pulling engine" supposedly capable f.f pulling up trees by the roots. But apparently he was not enough Impressed to purchase the de-vice. As a plantation owner and farmer, Washington busied him-self with such things as design-ing an experimental barn, and a "barrel .plow" for planting grain. His diaries mention such things as a threshing machine, a device for measuring exactly the "burning power" of various kinds of candles, the use of steam power for boats, and of all things a hand-powere- d boat designed to travel upstream through rapids. Potomac Canal Washington's life-lon- g interest in cheap river transportation for the struggling Colonies led him to design and supervise the con-struction of a mile-lon- g canal on the Potomac River which al-lowed boats to pass around the treacherous Great Falls. Swamp drainage also claimed Washing-ton's attention, and he devoted much time and energy to the re-claiming of farm land from water-fille- d swamps in Virginia. In the turbulent months of 1778 General Washington gave his personal attention to an idea for a crank-drive- n submarine which was to ram British war-ships with an explosive charge. In the happier days of 1787 the Statesman Washington could take time out to record a brief note in his diary after examining an "ironing machine," or mangle. Wrote the military saviour of his country : "Well calculated for table clotha and such articles as have not pleats and Irregular tury is a career of opportunity.
