[Edit] Politics, Labor, Biographies
In September, the President of the Generalitat Companys and authorities were in the Land and Maritime Engineer, San Andres, where, among other effects, is made from the armored train, and then visited the workshops where explosives are manufactured. Visitors witnessed the development of TNT, which, for the first time has been achieved in Barcelona.
In April of 1947 the underground organization of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC) in Catalonia suffered one of the hardest hit with the dismantling of the guerrilla groups operating in the city in what is known as the 'fall 80. From the reports that guerrillas had with the political organization through the sector committees were detained the head of the Land and Maritime Engineer.
It should be remembered about the incident involving Pere Duran Farell to make public in 1967 and in the presence of Minister Franco Development Plan, Lopez Rodo, the Land and Maritime Engineer had negotiated with the underground just before the Workers' Commissions.
The quarry of the Land and Maritime Engineer, that, as happened in the Viesgo Cantabria Electra, was the forging of industrial engineers Catalonia and in the machine, over many years, made his debut the fresh out of school and some of them developed there throughout his career. Elect, therefore, two Engineers of the machine. The first is Jose Serrat and Bonastre, Mechanical Engineer and Chemical Engineer, joined the company in 1891 and retired in 1935, with brief breaks for tasks that do not shut him out of the "house." Was Professor of Machine Construction at the School of Bilbao and Assistant Director of the same, for two years. Entered into the machine as "machine-building ENGINEERS", became Chief Engineer, Deputy Director, and finally reached a Technical Director. Cancelled this square, was appointed Consulting Engineer, a condition in which he was often called the machine direction. Although this curriculum can not be regarded as too bright, and Bonastre Serrat always enjoyed enormous prestige technical, as evidenced by his election to chair the Association of Industrial Engineers of Catalonia in 1908, when even was Assistant Director, but a simple engineer employee of the machine, and, shortly thereafter, he became President, for the biennium 1924-1926, the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, headquartered in Barcelona. After separation of the machine acts as a consultant to private companies, translated, mostly German, abundant technical literature and published works, among which highlights "Mechanical Technology." The city council has recognized the professional prestige Bonastre Serrat and giving its name to a vocational training center.
The second engineer of the machine, of whom I now speak, has a different profile. José María Mas Cornet and later earned an engineering degree when he was 35 years, both because of delays due to health problems, and this is what is important to note, because its relationship with the machine since the end of last year of career prevented him from engaging in the project was not approved until 1874, when 1868 came from working for the company, to be his whole life and attended by many family members who may speak of a dynasty Cornet in the Machine . Promoted shortly after his admission to the Head of Workshops, in 1880 became the manager of the company, where he remained until his death in 1916. Are therefore nearly 50 years devoted to the consolidation and expansion of the machine. His career as an engineer covers two distinct aspects. On the one hand, the development of machinery, an area in which there is the glory of having invented and operated a machine for cutting the teeth of bevel gear with improved quality and reduced labor and that was so successful that could be exported, mainly to France and England. Moreover, metal construction, which even before taking the title devoted numerous projects, among which iron armor for the Teatro del Circo in Barcelona and for many markets, most notably that of Born. Along the same lines are their projects of road and rail bridges that Cornet signed in large numbers.
Cornet's concerns throughout his life, and who devoted all their efforts, were the defense industrial engineer status and protection of domestic industry. And you have to admit that he did consistently well since the presidency of the Association of Industrial Engineers and in its enforcement as a deputy in the Cortes, in the two legislatures for being elected as the various forums, including the Institute the Fomento del Trabajo Nacional, in which he participated. In the controversy between free trade and protectionism, Cornet was an ardent defender of protectionism, but now most economists agree in rejecting the tariff protectionism, we must admit that Mas Cornet and made a smart and selfless work on behalf of some principles, although I do not agree, can be understood by the time he lived.

La Maquinista Terrestre y Marítima Sociedad Anónima (M.T.M.) es una empresa fundada en Barcelona, el 14 de septiembre de 1855, resultado de la fusión entre los talleres de Valentín Esparó Giralt (Valentín Esparó y Consocios, adquirida a la compañía Bonaplata en 1839) y la Sociedad La Barcelonesa (Tous, Ascacíbar y Compañía), fundada en 1838 por Nicolás Tous Mirapeix y Celedonio Ascacíbar. En sus inicios estaba dedicada a la construcción de todo tipo de maquinaría pesada. Los principales accionistas fueron, además de los propietarios nombrados, Ramón Bonaplata, Josep M.Serra, Joan Güell Ferrer, José Antonio de Mendiguren y Nicolau Tous Soler.

El segundo ingeniero de La Maquinista, de quien quiero ahora hablar, tiene otro perfil. José María Cornet y Mas obtuvo tarde el título de ingeniero, cuando tenía ya 35 años, tanto por retrasos debidos a problemas de salud como, y esto es lo que importa señalar, porque su vinculación con La Maquinista desde que terminó el último curso de la carrera le impidió dedicarse al proyecto que no aprobó hasta 1874, cuando ya venía desde 1868 trabajando en la empresa, que será la suya toda la vida y en la que participaron tantos miembros de su familia que bien puede hablarse de una dinastía Cornet en La Maquinista. Ascendido poco después de su ingreso a Jefe de Talleres, en 1880 se hizo cargo de la dirección de la empresa, puesto que ocupará hasta su muerte en 1916. Son pues casi 50 años dedicados a la consolidación y expansión de La Maquinista. Su trayectoria profesional como ingeniero cubre dos claros aspectos. Por un lado, el desarrollo de la maquinaria, ámbito en el que le cabe la gloria de haber inventado y explotado una máquina para tallar los dientes de las ruedas cónicas de engranaje, con mejora de la calidad y reducción de la mano de obra, y que tuvo tanto éxito que pudo ser exportada, principalmente a Francia e Inglaterra. Por otro lado, las construcciones metálicas, a las que ya desde antes de sacar el título dedicó numerosos proyectos, entre las cuales destacan las armaduras de hierro para el Teatro del Circo de Barcelona y para numerosos mercados, entre los que destaca el del Born. En la misma línea están sus proyectos de puentes de ferrocarril y carretera que Cornet firmó en elevado número.
Las preocupaciones de Cornet durante toda su vida, y a las que dedicó todos sus esfuerzos, fueron la defensa del estatuto del ingeniero industrial y la protección de la industria nacional. Y hay que reconocer que lo hizo en forma coherente tanto desde la Presidencia de la Asociación de Ingenieros Industriales, como en su ejecutoria como Diputado en Cortes, durante las dos legislaturas para las que fue elegido, como en los diversos foros, entre ellos el Instituto del Fomento del Trabajo Nacional, en los que participó. En la polémica entre librecambistas y proteccionistas, Cornet fue un ardiente defensor del proteccionismo y, aunque hoy la mayoría de los economistas están de acuerdo en rechazar el proteccionismo arancelario, hay que admitir que Cornet y Mas realizó un trabajo inteligente y abnegado en defensa de unos principios que, si bien yo no comparto, pueden entenderse por la época que le tocó vivir.

Gran parte del éxito del Ferrocarril de Sóller hay que atribuirlo a su tranvía. El proyecto de tranvía corrió a cargo del ingeniero Garau, diseñando un trazado desde Sóller hasta el Puerto de una longitud de 4868 metros, con un ancho de vía de 914 mm. A partir del casco urbano y después de haber dejado atrás los primeros huertos, el tendido de la vía discurre paralelo a la carretera. El único obstáculo que el tranvía encuentra en su camino es el Torrent Major que se salva con un puente de hierro de 20 metros de longitud en oblicuo, que fue construido por la Maquinista Terrestre y Marítima de Barcelona.
Carde y Escoriaza Zaragoza ganó el concurso para la construcción del material, tanto motor como remolcado, para el tranvía de Sóller. El señor Estadés (directivo de los Ferrocarriles de Soller) se decidió por la construcción de un tranvía que tuviera la caja tipo Valencia, la plataforma tipo Vigo y los asientos tipo Zaragoza, a un coste de 10.000 pts. por unidad. Se mandaron construir tres motores y
