Circumstances beyond the control of both Publishers and Author have caused the delay of the issue of this edition much longer than was anticipated when the preparations for it were commenced. Although this was unfortunate in a general way, the delay has permitted of the inclusion in this edition of much from the reports of the British Marine Engineering Design Construction Committee, which was formed with the special object of bringing about the unification of the rules in use to govern the design and construction of Marine machinery which required a certificate of classification from any of the authorities controlling the merchant shipping of the United Kingdom, viz the Board of Trade, Lloyd's Register, the British Corporation Registry, and the Bureau Veritas.
