Abstract
THIS book is a translation from Prof. Herrmann's revised edition of Weisbach's great work on engineering mechanics. Several volumes of this work are familiar to English readers. The present section, however, has not previously appeared in English print, although its value has long been recognised. Mr. Dahlstrom was induced to undertake the translation, because he felt that there was a want in our technical literature for a textbook suitable for the higher grades of mechanics of machinery.
The Mechanics of Hoisting Machinery.
By Dr. Julius Weisbach Prof. Gustav Herrmann. Translated from the second German edition by Karl P. Dahlstrom, M.E. (London and New York: Macmillan and Co., 1893)
