Abstract
THE volume under review is a new edition of Mr. Hal Williams's well-known book on mechanical refrigeration, which has now been amplified and largely rewritten. It contains a useful summary of the present state of our knowledge of refrigeration in its broadest aspect, and, as it does not go unduly into minute detail of design and equipment, it will appeal to all interested in the vital problem of the conservation of the food supply of the nation.
Mechanical Refrigeration: being a Practical Introduction to the Study of Cold Storage, Ice-making, and other Purposes to which Refrigeration is being Applied.
By Hal Williams. New and enlarged edition. (The Specialists' Series.) Pp. x + 501 + 6 plates. (London: Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, Ltd., 1924.) 20s. net.
