Abstract:Bridge Works, the offices and works of Ricardo Consulting Engineers Ltd. at Shoreham-by-Sea has been an international centre for the design, development and research into internal combustion engines for the past seventy five years. Operations started at Shoreham with the opening of the works on 1 or 2 July 1919 under the leadership of Harry, later Sir Harry, Ricardo. He was later to be aptly described as the "High Priest" of the Internal Combustion Engine and he and his team and their successors have built up an enviable reputation for engine design, development and research and for the development and exploitation of leading edge technology in this area.
