In the 1960s, the Applied Mechanics Department of IIT Madras had a wind tunnel among its facilities. German technicians came to the Institute to assemble the tunnel which became functional in the late 1960s. It was used for industry work (smoke nuisance) and laboratory work for a few years. The wind tunnel was eventually dismantled some decades after it was put up. SS State of Bombay was one of the ships operated by the British India Steam Navigation Company, also known as the BI Line. The ship plied the India to East Africa sea lanes along with other ships such as the Karanja, Amra,…
