	Information about Isambard Kingdom Brunel
		Brunel rose to prominence when, aged 20, he was appointed chief assistant engineer of his father's greatest achievement, the Thames Tunnel, which runs beneath the river between Rotherhithe and Wapping.
		Brunel worked out through mathematics and a series of trials that his broader gauge was the optimum railway size for providing stability and a comfortable ride to passengers, in addition to allowing for bigger carriages and more freight capacity.
		Brunel was already working on building the SS Great Eastern amongst other projects, but accepted the task in February 1855 of designing and building the War Office requirement of a temporary, pre-fabricated hospital that could be shipped to the Crimea and erected.

	Isambard Kingdom Brunel Summary
		Brunel tenaciously overcame many obstacles, but the project, overwhelmed with mishaps, was aborted when an undetected low section in the river bed caused a collapse and flooded part of the tunnel in 1828, nearly drowning Brunel.
		During his short career, Brunel achieved many engineering "firsts", including assisting in the building of the first tunnel under a navigable river and development of the first propeller-driven ocean-going iron ship, which was at the time also the largest ship ever built.

	The Brunel Lecture 1958
		Brunel realised the advantages to be gained by transferring the source of power from the track itself to the track side and that is precisely what we have done, for similar reasons, on our electrified lines.
		Brunel was at once an architect, a civil engineer, a mechanical engineer and a naval architect, indeed there was scarcely any department of engineering or scientific knowledge at that time in which he was not perfectly at home.
		Brunel was not only a great engineer but a great man; indeed one could say that he was a great engineer because he was a great man and it was his imaginative power and his wide ranging, liberal intellect which made him great.
