Paper 1: To have an upright cantilever structurally strong enough and at the same time as economical as possible, requires careful analysis of the supporting foundation. Paper 2: The four criteria for establishing strength data of foundations for overhead signs were (1) shapes which indicate economy, (2) foundations which can be dug with available mechanical equipment, (3) plastic, granular, and organic soils which endure and, (4) conditions which can be simulated. Paper 3: A device is described which can be used to estimate the lateral strength of soils.
