Franklin F. Snyder
Q ..
Because he worked for Cochran for a short time.
A ..
He did?
Q ..
Eventually, he was doing structural.
A ..
That's where they were. The Structures Branch had a group that were interested in
the hydraulics of the structural design on the dams. In other words, Douma was
probably in structures most of the time.
Q ..
I'd have to check, but I think he was.
A ..
Yes. That's where they were. I said I was sure there were some hydraulic people
that weren't in our branch. Our hydraulics was mostly river hydraulics, where the
hydraulics in designing the gates, the passages, and stuff through the dam, was in
the Structures Branch.
.
John Harrold, who was probably over Jake to begin with, had a brother, Lloyd, that
was on that project that I was on in the Geological Survey. There were two brothers
and both in hydraulics and hydrology. When I went to the Corps, I'm not sure
where John Harrold was at the time.
Q ..
Okay. So there were really, there were hydraulic engineers in other places besides
your branch.
A ..
I think that's the way they kept people happy.
Q ..
But there weren't any hydrologists anywhere else.
A ..
No
Q ..
You had all of them in hydrology.
