Abstract
THIS paper-backed volume consists of nine chapters, each written by an expert in the particular field. The first chapter deals with the principles of construction, kinematic design of apparatus, and the mechanical properties and methods of working of constructional materials. Glafes-blowing ; vacuum technique ; production, measurement and control of high temperatures ; optical technique; light sources and filters ; photoelectric cells and their applications ; recording mechanisms ; and voltage and current regulation are the subjects of the other chapters. The text is clear, well set-out and amply illustrated by line drawings. There is an excellent index, which makes the book extremely useful for rapid reference.
