Abstract
THESE three little manuals are compiled at the instance of the Turbine Section of the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association for a severely practical purpose. Engineers dealing with designs or specifications for steam turbines will use them in framing estimates of performance, and it is to enable this to be done with the least possible expenditure of thought and time that these tables of heat-drop and certain correcting factors have been put into a handy form for office use. They are founded on the calculations of Prof. H. L. Callendar, who has revolutionised our knowledge of the properties of steam. It is satisfactory to see such clear evidence that British engineers are alive to the practical value of Callendar's scientific work, and ready to avail themselves of it in their business as manufacturers of steam-engines.
