Abstract
ONE of the last representatives of a generation of distinguished engineers, Sir Douglas Fox died on November 13 in his eighty-second year. His father, Sir Charles Fox, had assisted Ericsson in building the “Novelty,” one of the three locomotives which competed at Rainhill in 1829, and as a member of the firm of Messrs. Fox, Henderson and Co. constructed the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park in 1850–51.
