Abstract

At the time of the Dorlikon pioneers only Indian paths led west,

and yet, the traffic connections to the Midwest hold a core position in

the history of North America. My wife and I went to one of the most

important centers in this context, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, coming

from Newark, New Jersey. As a member of a delegation of experts

I had been to Newark twenty years before, when, for the first time

worldwide , a novel way of building runways was being tested there.

On our visit in 1992, on the other hand, I was more interested in the

airport's three large hangars, for engineers of our firm were drawing

the plans for a monorail designed to link the various parts of the

whole complex. The monorail itself was also to be delivered by a

Swiss manufacturer.
