Abstract
THIS is the title of a booklet which has been published by the Society of Engineers (war-time address, 56 Church Street, Weybridge, Surrey) as reprinted from the Transactions of the Society. It was written primarily for the training of concrete operatives by Victor S. Wigmore, and presents the subject in a simple manner which should make it valuable to all grades of workers on the staff of contractors or engineers. The reader is asked to imagine that he is on a site where concreting is about to take place and he is then introduced in turn to each of the ingredients—cement, sand, coarse aggregate and water—and finally to different processes of concreting.
