  Hope they all take it off before doing anything power tool related or near any machinery that could catch it…

    As originally conceived, the engineer’s iron ring rubs against the drawings and paper upon which the Engineer writes and even in modern times, serves as a reminder when working on a computer.

    Think it’s intended more for the design engineer than the construction engineer.

    But that said you can get some decent silicone rings that won’t de-glove you if they get caught these days.

  A myth persists that the initial batch of Iron Rings was made from the beams of the first Quebec Bridge, a bridge that collapsed during construction in 1907 due to poor planning and design by the overseeing engineers.

  How can you do that to my, Wikipedia? I never believed in Santa, but I believed in the tragic origin of the ring.

  I don’t think its common anymore, I didn’t even see anything about this in undergrad or grad school.
