Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineering Notes
Originality in Engineering notes is out of the question moreover, the best works extant on the subject appear to have borrowed so largely from the same source, or from each other, that it is next to impossible mention ing authorities.
The object of this work is to supply an exhaustive digest of all that is known on each subject so far as is necessary and sufficient for an Engineer in practice; the Alphabetical Index will enable him at once to arrive at what he wants without wading through irrelevant matter.
The detached form of unconnected paragraphs has been adopted to combine succinctness with perspicuity unattainable by a more discursive style.
