Excerpt from Self-Instruction for Students in Gas Engineering: Being Answers to Questions Based on the Ordinary Grade Syllabus in Gas Engineering of the City and Guilds of London Institute
Such credit as may attach to the publication of this little work is due, in part, to Mr. W. E. Price, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E. In his presidential address to the Southern District Association of Gas Engineers and Managers, Mr. Price suggested for the consideration of the technical journals connected with the gas industry that they might do more than they had yet attempted in the way of assisting students in Gas Engineering in the pursuit of their studies. The Editor of the Gas World, acting on this hint, arranged with a gas engineer and chemist of knowledge and experience to write for that journal a series of articles on "Self-Instruction for Students in Gas Engineering." These have here been brought together in book form. As the title-page indicates, the questions and answers now submitted are based on the Ordinary Grade syllabus of the City and Guilds of London Institute. In a companion volume the same writer deals with the Honours Grade syllabus. Since the publication of the previous editions of the book, the word "Engineering" has been substituted for "Manufacture" in the syllabus, and a new syllabus and examination in "Gas Supply" has been instituted. "Gas Supply" is treated in separate volumes - Elementary and Advanced - also by "Mentor."
