About this title

Review:

"... (an) outstanding reference. ... As a design engineer responsible for designing and specifying a variety of mechanical systems, I often spend considerable time searching numerous reference and texts for worked examples or guidelines that will help me solve my problems. In the short time that I've had to review this book, I have already saved time by having a large data base of material in a one-volume handbook. Engineers and those in other technical disciplines will find this handbook a great asset to have within reach of their bookshelves." -- Neil C. Johnson of ABB Environmental Systems, Inc.,in Quality Progress, February 1992
