Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mechanics' Handbook: A Convenient Reference Book, for All Persons Interested in Mechanical Engineering, Steam Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Railroad Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Bridge Engineering, Etc
The first edition copies) of the pocket book of which this is the outcome was issued in October, 1893, in the form of a notebook contain ing 74 printed pages, with about the same number of blank pages for memoranda, whence the title Mechanics' Pocket Memoranda. The little book proved so popular that a new edition copies) enlarged to 110 pages was issued 8 months later. In June, 1897, the blank pages were discarded, the work was entirely recast and enlarged to 318 pages, and the edition (third) consisted of Copies. Before printing the fifth edition (march, a large amount of matter relating especially to Plumbing, Heating, and Ventilation and the Build ing Trades was taken out, replaced by tables of logarithms, trigonometric functions, etc., together with directions for using them, and other new matter, the result being to confine the work more particularly to different branches of engineering.
