Abstract
THE Engineer is the oldest and one of the most influential journals in Great Britain dealing with the progress of engineering. In the interests of the firms advertising in the paper, the proprietors publish every two years a useful directory of about 250 pages. The first 38 pages give an index and vocabulary in French, German, Italian and Spanish ofthe technical words used in the book. The next 156 pages give an alphabetical list of the manufacturers together with their telephone numbers and telegraphic addresses. The nextsection gives their telegraphic addresses and the codes they use. Finally a carefully selected list is given of the numbers and titles of British Standard Specifications. The guide has been carefully prepared, and should prove useful toconsulting engineers and contractors. It is issued free of charge by the proprietors of the Engineer. To qualify for inclusion under appropriate headings, it is necessary to advertise in the columns of the Engineer to the extent of £25 a year.
