Phippen and J w" Head. Most engineers have made use of nomogramsat some time in their careers, and are fully alive to the fact that they are a very convenient topi when the sameformula has to be solved.repeatedly for several sets of variables. It is fair to say, however, that only a smallproportion of even those who habitually employ nomo- grams know how to construct them for their own useMost of the comparatively small literature on the subject is written for mathematicians and is extremelydifficult for the practical engineer to comprehend. This book is essentially practical, and not only demonstratesthe many and varied applications of the abac or nomogram, but shows how even those without highlyspecialized mathemetical knowledge may construct their own charts. 35s. net from all booksellers.
