Abstract
THIS small volume presents in a particularly happy manner an account of many materials used by the engineer and the processes by which they are made, or in which they are used. There are no lengthy tables of analyses or detailed accounts of laboratory methods, but, instead, general descriptions and careful explanations of many terms, such as, for example, ‘gas coal’, ‘cetane number’, ‘differential aeration’ and ‘continuous blowdown’, with which the engineer is probably familiar, but might have difficulty in defining.
