Octavo, cloth (hardcover), gilt lettering, 36 pp + [iv] pp ads. Very Good. From Preface: The need for a small book of this type arose in the work of teaching the use of the slide rule to engineering and industrial students; and this Manual is a direct result of sets of notes issued to classes consisting of engineering students and men of more or less practical experience. The book is not a treatise in any sense, its aim being to develop the ideas of the operator rather than to give empirical rules. Those rules that have been given are for the purpose of training the student in the formulation of processes, and it is not intended that they shall ever be committed to memory. The examples have been taken largely from Hydraulics and Mechanics, and while the actual field covered by specific problems is narrow, the idea has been to make them fundamental. It is hoped that these examples will serve the purpose of development better than the more specialized problems arising in different branches of engineering.
