Abstract
THE first of the volumes under notice is one of the reports published by the Engineering Standards Committee, which is doing such valuable work at the present time, and deals with the very important question of the proper dimensions for test bars in order that the percentages of elongation in different sets of experiments can be compared with one another. The report is written by Prof. Unwin, F.R.S., who carried out a series of original investigations for the committee in order that they might have definite experimental data before coming to any decision as to the proportions they would recommend for test bars.
