THE WORKS MANAGER’S HANDBOOK OF MODERN RULES, TABLES AND DATA For Civil and Mechanical Engineers, Millwrights and Boiler Makers; Tool Makers, Machinists and Metal Workers; Iron * and Brass Founders, etc., etc. BY WALTER S, HUTTON, CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER. The Author having been in the habit of compiling Rules and Data for his own use in the construction of a great variety of modern Engineering Work, and having found his notes extremely useful, decided to publish them, after revising them to date, believing that a practical work, suited to the Daily Requirements of Modern Engineers, would be favorably received bv the public. ^ The rapid sale of the previous Editions, and the continued favor the Work has received, show that it has been of considerable service to Engineers. In issuing a Fourth Edition, many alterations and improvements have been made, including the followino' amongst other additions, viz. ; New matter relating to Steam Engines—Gas Engines—Pumps—Water Supply, etc., etc. ° ° “The author treats every subject from the point of view of one who has collected workshop notes for application in workshop nracticA rather than from the theoretical or literary aspect, and the work contains a great deal of that kind of Information which is gained oniv ht practical e.xperience» and is seldom written in books.”—T/ie Enginetr. ^ ny “The volume is an exceedingly useful one, brimful with engineers’ notes, memoranda and rules, and well worthy of being i^echanical engineer’s bookshelf. There is valuable information on every page. It should be in every woi;kshop manager’s library. 5ent, Post-paid, on Receipt of Price, by DAVID WILLIAMS. - - - Publisher and Bookseller, 96-102 Reade Street New York.

We have therefore explained special terms w'here we have thought it convenient to use them, and where the technically educated student would not need an explanation.
