Abstract

IN this volume there is an excellent collection of examples, the teaching power of which has already been tried by students attending the lectures at the Finsbury Technical College, who, as is stated in the preface, written by Prof. John Perry, have worked through them and obtained “a real good working knowledge of the application of the principles of mechanics and machine design; … their knowledge was always ready for use.”

Numerical Examples in Practical Mechanics and Machine Design.

By Robert G. Blaine (London: Cassell and Co., Limited, 1888).
