Abstract
THIS book takes rather an unusual form and is perhaps best described as being something intermediate between a textbook and a handbook. It is primarily designed to meet the requirements of engineering students in their final years at colleges, etc., and for this purpose should prove exceedingly useful. The object throughout is to give all essential information without any unnecessary overloading. Fundamental and derived formulæ are given with a skeleton connexion between them. This method of presentation not only gives all that is really necessary, but also provides a little mental stimulus in following the steps.
