History

At the beginning of the 20th century, Bernard Everard became a partner of the firm changing its name to Everard, Son and Pick. William Keay a Civil Engineer who worked for Everard, Son and Pick since 1911 became a partner circa 1920 and in 1925, Martin Gimson, a civil engineer became the fourth partner, changing the firms name to Pick, Everard, Keay and Gimson.[1]

Column-generating template families

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.
