Abstract
IN noticing the first volume of this series of dictionaries in our issue for May 3, 1906 (vol. Ixxiv., p. 6), descriptions of the objects of the series and the methods of treatment were given. The present volume deals with the following subjects among others:—gases and oils; the theory, construction, equipment and erection of internal combustion engines; materials and their economical use; complete plants; and general working and testing. The illustrations, though of necessity small, since the volume is of pocket size, are generally remarkably clear. The excellent alphabetical index with which the volume is provided makes reference easy and will greatly enhance the popularity of the dictionary among technical students and workers.
