Abstract
WE welcome the forty-third edition of this annual. The editor has picked out the sections on machine tools, metallurgy, aeronautics, paints and varnishes for revision, and the names of the contributors are a surety for the accuracy of the information given. We are so familiar with this work that we have long ceased to consider its unwieldiness. But it is an outsize in handbooks, and so it is probable in the future that it will split into two or more volumes, suffering what physicists call atomic disintegration.
