General Notes: Husband - Egbert R. Morrison


He attended Westminster College one year and graduated from the Case School of Applied Science as a Mechanical Engineer in 1904, from that date until April, 1907, was employed as chief draughtsman and estimating engineer at the Union Spring and Manufacturing Company; of New Kensington, Pennsylvania. He then resigned that position of responsibility to become assistant general manager of the Sharon Boiler Works. Mr. Morrison was a man who stands high in his profession both as a practical engineer and a deep student of mechanics. He was a Junior Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He issued a book entitled "Morrison's Spring Tables," which was widely noticed and highly valued by manufacturers. Briefly speaking the tables, from which the book obtains its title, give a close estimate of the various properties of light and heavy springs and thus saves manufacturers much time and thought in arriving at the results which he has formulated.
