Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from International Library of Technology: A Series of d104books for Persons Engaged in the Engineering Professions and Trades or for Those Who Desire Information Concerning Them; Fully Illustrated and Containing Numerous Practical Examples and Their Solutions
III preparing these textbooks, it has been our constant endeavor to view the matter from the student's standpoint, and to try and anticipate everything that would cause him trouble. The utmost pains have been taken to avoid and correct any and all ambiguous expressions - both those due to faulty rhetoric and those due to insufficiency of statement or explanation. As the best way to make a statement, explanation, or description clear, is to give a picture or a diagram in connection with it, illustrations have been used almost without limit. The illustrations have in all cases been adapted to the requirements of the text, and projec tions and sections or outline, partially shaded, or full-shaded perspectives, have been used, according to which will best produce the desired results. Half tones have been used rather sparingly, except in those cases where the general effect 18 desired rather than the actual details.
