14 the deuce to pay
разг.(the deuce (the devil или hell) to pay (тж. the deuce или the devil and all to pay))затруднительное положение, неприятность, беда; трудная задача; ≈ сам чёрт ногу сломитThe warships were crippled by this wholesale desertion and overstaying of leave. In Callao itself there was the devil to pay. (W. Foster, ‘Pages from a Worker's Life’, ch. II) — Военные корабли потеряли боеспособность, так как многие матросы дезертировали, а другие не вернулись вовремя из отпуска. В самом Кальяо творилось что-то невероятное.
He said the rushers were going to wreck the Age offices and there would be the devil to pay, if the newspaper did nothing to prove its statement. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 25) — Фриско сказал, что участники похода намерены разгромить редакцию газеты и произойдет черт знает что, если газета не подтвердит своего сообщения.
He remembered Chesterton's rhyme about the people of England who have not spoken yet. Were they now about to speak?.. If that really got loose, there'd be hell to pay. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part III, ch. V) — Он вспомнил стихи Честертона об английском народе, который еще не заговорил. Не собирается ли он заговорить теперь?.. Если это прорвется наружу, кое-кому туго придется!

17 Clark, Edwin
SUBJECT AREA: Civil engineering[br]b. 7 January 1814 Marlow, Buckinghamshire, Englandd. 22 October 1894 Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England[br]English civil engineer.[br]After a basic education in mathematics, latin, French and geometry, Clark was articled to a solicitor, but he left after two years because he did not like the work. He had no permanent training otherwise, and for four years he led an idle life, becoming self-taught in the subjects that interested him. He eventually became a teacher at his old school before entering Cambridge, although he returned home after two years without taking a degree. He then toured the European continent extensively, supporting himself as best he could. He returned to England in 1839 and obtained further teaching posts. With the railway boom in progress he decided to become a surveyor and did some work on a proposed line between Oxford and Brighton.After being promised an interview with Robert Stephenson, he managed to see him in March 1846. Stephenson took a liking to Clark and asked him to investigate the strains on the Britannia Bridge tubes under various given conditions. This work so gained Stephenson's full approval that, after being entrusted with experiments and designs, Clark was appointed Resident Engineer for the Britannia Bridge across the Menai Straits. He not only completed the bridge, which was opened on 19 October 1850, but also wrote the history of its construction. After the completion of the bridge—and again without any professional experience—he was appointed Engineer-in-Chief to the Electric and International Telegraph Company. He was consulted by Captain Mark Huish of the London \& North Western Railway on a telegraphic system for the railway, and in 1853 he introduced the Block Telegraph System.Clark was engaged on the Crystal Palace and was responsible for many railway bridges in Britain and abroad. He was Engineer and part constructor of the harbour at Callao, Peru, and also of harbour works at Colón, Panama. On canal works he was contractor for the marine canal, the Morskoy Canal, in 1875 between Kronstadt and St Petersburg. His great work on canals, however, was the concept with Edward Leader Williams of the hydraulically operated barge lift at Anderton, Cheshire, linking the Weaver Navigation to the Trent \& Mersey Canal, whose water levels have a vertical separation of 50 ft (15 m). This was opened on 26 July 1875. The structure so impressed the French engineers who were faced with a bottleneck of five locks on the Neuffossée Canal south of Saint-Omer that they commissioned Clark to design a lift there. This was completed in 1878 and survives as a historic monument. The design was also adopted for four lifts on the Canal du Centre at La Louvière in Belgium, but these were not completed until after Clark's death.JHB
