The firm that would eventually evolve into Julius Poole & Gibson was begun by George Alfred Julius

(1873-1946) who was born at Norwich, England but educated in Australia and New Zealand. After

graduating in 1896 with a Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering) degree from Canterbury

College, University of New Zealand located in Christchurch, New Zealand, Julius moved to Western

Australia where he worked as an assistant engineer with the Western Australian Railways. In 1906

Julius moved to Sydney and soon afterwards established himself as a part-time consulting engineer

with Allen Taylor and Co., a firm of timber merchants, which also allowed him to undertake other

commissions. This practice was the first of its type in Australia. Julius' engineering consultancy was

originally located in the Equitable Building, 350 George Street, Sydney. His first commission was to

investigate defective electrical and mechanical installations made by the Sydney Light and Power

Scheme. He quickly developed a strong client base and the volume of work necessitated a move within a

year to larger premises in Norwich Chambers, 58 Hunter Street, Sydney. By this time his practice also

included an assistant engineer, two draftsmen and a secretary. In addition to his engineering

consultancy work, Julius began work on an automatic totalisator machine, the first of which was

installed at Ellerslie Park Racecourse in Auckland, New Zealand in 1913. In 1917 a public company,

Automatic Totalisators Ltd, was formed to manufacture, install and operate the totalisators throughout

the world. Later during the Great Depression, work on the totalisator helped Julius Poole & Gibson

remain viable during this period of financial crisis.

By 1913, Julius' practice had again moved to more spacious accommodation at Culwulla Chambers,

Castlereagh Street, Sydney, where it remained until 1971. Julius maintained many professional

interests through bodies such as the Engineering Association of New South Wales, the Electrical

Association of Australia, the Institution of Engineers, Australia, and the Council for Scientific and

Industrial Research (CSIR) of which he was Chairman from 1926 to 1945. He was knighted in 1929

primarily for his work with CSIR.

In 1914 George Julius accepted an engineer, William Poole (1868-1929), as a partner and the firm

became known as Julius & Poole. Poole was mainly associated with the firm's civil and mining

engineering activities. William Poole was born in Sydney and began his working career as a drafting

cadet with the New South Wales Railways. In 1890 he completed formal requirements for his Bachelor

of Engineering (Civil Engineering) degree at Sydney University, but because of the need to complete his

matriculation examination before being admitted to the degree, it was only in 1900 that his degree was

formally awarded. After leaving university, Poole qualified as a surveyor, working with the New South

Wales Department of Water Conservation and Irrigation as an assistant engineer. In 1897 he was a

member of Professor Tannatt William Edgeworth David's expedition to the Pacific island of Funafuti in

Tuvalu to test Darwin's theory on the formation of coral atolls. This led to his admission as a Fellow of

the Geological Society, London. Later he worked for Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd (BHP) as an

engineering supervisor at Broken Hill, New South Wales and as an assistant metallurgist and night

superintendent at BHP's smelter works at Port Pirie, South Australia. Afterwards he was Director of

the Queensland State School of Mines, Charters Towers, Queensland and then Director, School of

Mines, Ballarat, Victoria.

The outbreak of World War 1 slowed the progress of the firm which by that time had a staff of six and it

was not until 1922 that it began to expand once again. A new partner, Alexander James Gibson

(1876-1960), joined the firm in January 1922 and from that date the business became known as Julius

Poole & Gibson (JPG). Gibson had a long association with both George Julius and William Poole before

joining the firm as a partner. He had been born and educated in England and had served his

engineering apprenticeship with the Thames Iron Works, Ship Building and Engineering Co.,

Blackwall, London and in 1899 was made an Associate Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers,

London. He then moved to Shanghai, China, to work in shipbuilding and marine engineering. Gibson

arrived in Sydney in 1900 and began work as a fitter and turner at Mort's Dock and Engineering Co. In

1903 he was appointed Assistant Lecturer in Engineering Building and Design at the University of

Sydney, and in 1910 became Foundation Professor of Engineering at the University of Queensland. In

1919 Gibson resigned his Chair at the University of Queensland to become Superintendent of

Construction at BHP's steelworks in Newcastle, New South Wales. In 1921 he was approached by the

Municipal Council of Rockhampton, Queensland, to investigate the unsatisfactory water supply to that

city and to recommend a suitable scheme. This led Gibson to collaborate with Julius & Poole and soon

afterwards the formal partnership was formed.

From 1922 JPG was associated with some of the largest engineering projects in Australia, including the

Rockhampton Water Supply Scheme, sugar mills for Australian Estates Ltd, the Burrinjuck Dam, and

power generation schemes in New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. From 1938 it became

heavily involved in hospital building programs in New South Wales and Victoria, working initially with

the Melbourne-based architectural firm of Stephenson & Turner but later with other major Australian

architectural firms.

William Poole died in 1929 and from then until 1944 Julius and Gibson continued the practice as dual

partners. By the end of World War II the firm employed 20 permanent staff members. However Sir

George Julius was in poor health and Alexander Gibson was 68 years of age. Two new partners - Sir

George's son Awdrey Julius, and Joseph Fry - were appointed to maintain the firm's momentum and

they became the first of the second generation of partners. Sir George Julius retired in 1944 and died in

1946; Alexander Gibson retired in 1951 to become a consultant to the firm. On Gibson's retirement, Jim

Loveday became the third partner and this situation continued until John (Jock) Tolerton was made a

partner in 1957.

A Melbourne office was opened in 1949 and operated until 1966, initially working closely with

Stephenson & Turner on hospital projects and later the firm of Bates, Smart & McCutcheon on office

buildings. At its peak the Melbourne office had a permanent staff of 10.

JPG also undertook consultancy work on the construction of pharmaceutical laboratories and

university buildings as well as government buildings in Canberra where for some years JPG maintained

a permanent office.

One of the firm's highest profile projects was the Sydney Opera House. On 1 July 1963 JPG was

appointed as secondary consultants for the general electrical services at the Opera House. When the

Danish architect Jorn Utzon resigned from the project in 1966, JPG entered into a new agreement with

the replacement architects, Peter Hall, Lionel Todd and David Littlemore.

On 4 January 1971 JPG became a proprietary company. Its Memorandum and Articles of Association

stated that its principal business was that of consulting engineers, with their operations to cover all

branches of engineering. In doing so they were to collaborate with architects, town planners, designers,

and surveyors, and to prepare engineering designs. The change of status of the firm meant that

partners now become directors. In that year the firm also relocated to the Sydney north shore suburb of

St Leonards at 9 Atchison Street. Its offices were built in partnership with the architects Rudder

Littlemore & Rudder.

In 1981 JPG merged with an engineering consultancy practice, T A Crowley and Associates, with that

firm's principal, Theodore Crowley, becoming a director of JPG. In January 1984 JPG merged with a

small mechanical engineering services firm, Anderson Cooney Associates, with Warwick Cooney

becoming a director of JPG and Max Anderson a part-time consultant. In the late 1980s JPG entered a

business partnership with the structural engineering firm of Bass Engineering, but this partnership

was dissolved in 1993 when Bass Engineering declined to continue with structural work. Under a

mutual agreement, Max Sherrard, a director of JPG since 1974, continued with structural work under

the name Julius Poole and Gibson, Consulting Engineers. In 2007 Max Sherrard continues to work as

Julius Poole and Gibson, Consulting Engineers, and operates his business from his home in the Sydney

north shore suburb of North Turramurra.

COLLECTED ARCHIVES SERIES DESCRIPTION

Registration Number: 2001/93/1-1

Creators: Julius Poole and Gibson Pty Ltd

Series Title: Engineering Drawings

Date Range: 1907 - 1939

Physical Characteristics: Engineering drawings executed in ink or pencil on tracing linen or

paper as well as some blueprints and diazo prints.

Description: Engineering Drawings, paper/tracing

linen/ink/pencil/cardboard/metal, Julius Poole and Gibson Pty Ltd,

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 1907 - 1939

Engineering drawings undertaken by partners of, or engineers

employed by the Sydney consulting engineering practice of Julius,

Poole and Gibson. The earliest drawings in the series were executed

by the founder of the firm, George Alfred Julius - later Sir George

Julius - just before his move from Western Australia to Sydney to act

as a consulting engineer to the Sydney timber merchants, Allen

Taylor & Co. The drawings document the development of the

practice from a small firm with a focus on commissions in the

Sydney metropolitan area to one that accepted large-scale interstate

commissions such as the Rockhampton Water Supply Scheme and

the Australian Estates' Pleystowe and Kalamia sugar mills, all in

Queensland, Australia. There are two sequences of drawings in the

series: the early and larger sized drawings covering the years 1907

to 1936 are loose and arranged by drawing number; the second

sequence of drawings which are usually smaller in size and cover the

years 1924 to 1939 are also arranged by drawing number but have

been secured in a folder. Most of the drawings in the series are

executed in ink on tracing linen but there are a small number of

blueprints and diazo prints and drawings in pencil on tracing paper.

The drawings are identified by drawing number and there is usually

information provided about the initials of the staff member/s who

drew the preliminary drawing or made the final tracing as well as

the date the drawing or tracing was completed. The earliest

drawings by George Julius have been signed and dated. In both

sequences the drawings have been arranged by drawing number.

The early drawings have just the drawing number, while later

drawings have both drawing and job numbers. For example drawing

"1599-56" signifies drawing number 1599 which was undertaken for

client number 56, George Hudson Ltd. This series of drawings has a

close relationship to 2001/122/1.

Arrangement: By drawing number.

Dimensions: Shelf Length m 2.00

Box Number: F1 & 2

F22001/93/1-1/39 Engineering drawings, paper/tracing

linen/ink/pencil/cardboard/metal, Julius Poole and Gibson Pty

Ltd, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 1924 - 1939

Folder containing 95 engineering drawings undertaken by

engineers employed by Julius, Poole and Gibson. They

document the wide range of commissions undertaken by the

practice although there are a considerable number which

detail aspects of some of the major projects with which Julius,

Poole and Gibson was associated with including the

Rockhampton Water Supply Scheme and Australian Estates'

Pleystowe and Kalamia sugar mills in Queensland, Australia.

Most of the drawings are executed in ink on tracing linen or

paper but there are a small number of blueprints and diazo

prints. The drawings are identified by drawing number and

there is usually information provided about the initials of the

staff member/s who drew the preliminary drawing or made the

final tracing as well as the date the drawing or tracing was

completed. The drawings have been punched with a two-hole

punch, placed in a cardboard folder, and secured with two

brass screw fastenings. At some point in its history the folder

containing the drawings has experienced water damage so that

the top section of all drawings have been affected, resulting in

some staining and loss of colour. The drawings in the folder are

arranged in drawing order with the earliest drawing at the

back and subsequent drawings placed on top of the previous

one in the sequence.
