The Gentlemen Engineers

I did a google search on W. Shanly and came up with the following link to an article about  Frank and Walter Shanly. A book was written about the two brothers in 1999 by Richard White. If you google Gentlemen Engineers you will come up with a few more articles about the brothers and a review of the book.
