Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Building the Iowa Industrial Reformatory for Females: A Thesis Presented by Jens A. Holmboe to the Faculty of Armour Institute of Technology, for the Degree of Civil Engineer, May 31, 1917
It is my aim in the following thesis is to give an account of our method of building the Iowa Industrial Reformatory For Females, located about one and one-half miles East of Rockwell City, Iowa. As these buildings were already designed, both as to size and strength, it is not my intention to cover these points. It is my aim to give an account of our organization, the machinery and equipment we used, and our methods of construction. The cost of doing work satisfactorily is now one of the chief factors in construction and engineering work, and I am therefore giving an account of our methods of doing work in an economical manner.
