Subsequently
Mr.
Clark
became
the
head
of
a
firm
of
consulting
electricians,
well
known
under
the
title
of
Clark,
Forde
and
Company,
and
latterly
including
the
late
Mr.
C.
Hockin
and
Mr.
Herbert
Taylor.
The
Mediterranean
cable
to
India,
the
East
Indian
Archipelago
cable
to
Australia,
the
Brazilian
Atlantic
cables
were
all
laid
under
the
supervision
of
this
firm.
Mr.
Clark
is
now
in
partnership
with
Mr.
Stanfield,
and
is
the
joint-inventor
of
Clark
and
Stanfield's
circular
floating
dock.
He
is
also
head
of
the
well-known
firm
of
electrical
manufacturers,
Messrs.
Latimer
Clark,
Muirhead
and
Co.,
of
Regency
Street,
Westminster.
The
foregoing
sketch
is
but
an
imperfect
outline
of
a
very
successful
life.
`But
enough
has
been
given
to
show
that
we
have
here
an
engineer
of
various
and
even
brilliant
gifts.
Mr.
Clark
has
applied
himself
in
divers
directions,
and
never
applied
himself
in
vain.
There
is
always
some
practical
result
to
show
which
will
be
useful
to
others.
In
technical
literature
he
published
a
description
of
the
Conway
and
Britannia
Tubular
Bridges
as
long
ago
as
1849.
There
is
a
valuable
communication
of
his
in
the
Board
of
Trade
Blue
Rook
on
Submarine
Cables.
In
1868,
he
issued
a
useful
work
on
ELECTRICAL
MEASUREMENTS,
and
in
1871
joined
with
Mr.
Robert
Sabine
in
producing
the
well-known
ELECTRICAL
TABLES
AND
FORMULAE,
a
work
which
was
for
a
long
time
the
electrician's
VADE-MECUM.
In
1873,
he
communicated
a
lengthy
paper
on
the
NEW
STANDARD
OF
ELECTROMOTIVE
POWER
now
known
as
CLARK'S
STANDARD
CELL;
and
quite
recently
he
published
a
treatise
on
the
USE
OF
THE
TRANSIT
INSTRUMENT.
