  Canadian Painter William Armstrong   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
William Armstrong was born in Ireland, in 1822, and went to England as a teenager to apprentice into engineering.
William Armstrong, like all wilderness travellers who painted in Canada in the 19th century, sought to capture, in paintings, the ever present danger of wilderness travel: fragile canoes that dared roiling rapids, passing between spectacular and rocky shoals that waited in ambush everywhere.
William Armstrong was not the passionate painter looking to find a new way of expressing himself, or his art; he was content, and proud, to be able to make an accurate record of the march of civilization that he was an active agent in speeding up, with his engineering skills.

That is, our interest is not only to obtain an accurate engineering description of the alloy in the bulk, but also to determine how the behavior of the material changes as the sample size is reduced to electronic interconnect scale.
