Edwin Clark (civil engineer)
Edwin Clark (1814–1894)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 NPG D10713 Conference of Engineers at the Menai Straits Preparatory to Floating one of the Tubes of the Britannia Bridge )〕 was an English Civil Engineer, specialising in hydraulics. He is remembered principally as the designer of the Anderton Boat Lift (1875) near Northwich in Cheshire, which links the navigable stretch of the River Weaver with the Trent and Mersey Canal.
==Early life and work==
Clark was at one time a mathematical master at Brook Green, then became a Surveyor in the west of England. In 1846 Clark went to London where he met Robert Stephenson, who appointed him Superintending engineer of the Menai Bridge. Clark, in turn, appointed his brother Josiah Latimer Clark as his Assistant Engineer.
When the Menai Bridge opened on 5 March 1850, Clark published a book ''The Britannia and Conway Tubular Bridges (3 vols)'', and by August of that year he had moved on to become an Engineer with the Electric and International Telegraph Company, where he took out the first of several patents for telegraph apparatus; the London and North Western Railway used Clark's telegraph between London and Rugby from 1855.
