Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This unpretending publication contains a large amount of useful information in a small compass, and should be valuable toboth students and engineers as an aid to memory, containing as it does numerous facts and figures on various branches of mechanical engineering. The notes on hydraulic machinery are especially valuable, as the author has had considerable practical experience in this branch of the profession. The Railroad Gazette.
