Excerpt from The Indicator Handbook: A Practical Manual for Engineers
Published originally in two parts, dealing respectively with "The Indicator: Its construction and Application" and "The Indicator: Its Analysis and Calculation," this work has met with a considerable measure of success.
Both parts being out of print, I have taken the opportunity of re issuing the complete treatise in one volume, and trust it will enjoy a continuance of the favour extended to the work in its original form.
