Abstract
THE third volume of Deinhardt and Schlomann's illustrated technical dictionary cannot fail to prove of enormous value in international relations. The idea is quite original. The dictionary is in six languages, German, English, French, Russian, Italian and Spanish, and the necessity for elaborate definitions is obviated by the insertion of small sketches. The vocabularies are classified under the following heads:—A. Steam boilers: (1) fuels, (2) production of heat, (3) furnace installations, (4) transmission of heat, (5) evaporation, (6) testing of materials, (7) boiler construction, (8) types of boilers, (9) boiler fittings, (10) boiler erection, (n) feed apparatus, (12) steam superheaters, (13) management of steam boilers, (14) boiler explosions, (15) boiler inspection, (16) range of steam pipes. B. Steam engines: (17) theory, (18) machine parts, (19) condensers, (20) types of engine, (21) erection, (22) working of engines. C. Steam turbines: (23) theory, (24) steam-turbine parts, (25) turbine plant.
