[edit] Which John Rennie?
In the Biographical works section, there is the following listing:
Lives of the Engineers, Vol 2, Harbours, Lighthouses and Bridges - John Smeaton and John Rennie
Question is, which John Rennie? The link points to a disambig page, and I can't tell which one to link to: John Rennie (engineer), who designed London Bridge, or his son, John Rennie (railway engineer), who built London Bridge?
Or is it both?
