Abstract
ONCE again, despite all the difficulties associated with war-time publication, “Kempe” has appeared and to all external appearances differs in no respect from its earlier issues. There is more in this than mere sentiment, for the publication of “Kempe” has become an important annual occasion in the engineering world. Originally designed by H. R. Kempe, engineer-in-chief at the General Post Office, to be a work which, being carefully brought up to date year by year, should take its place as the standard book of reference in the engineering profession, it has in actual fact attained to this eminence and fulfilled the destiny planned for it.
