Most engineers have made use of nomograms at some time in their careers, and are fully alive to thefact that they are a very convenient tool when the same formula? have to be solved r«peatedly for several sets ofvariables. It is fair to say, however, that only a small proportion of even those who habitually employ nomo-grams know how to construct them for their own use. Most of the comparatively small literature on thesubject is written for mathematicians and is extremely difficult for the practical engineer to comprehend. Thisbook is essentially practical, and not only demonstrates the many and varied applications of the abac ornomogram, but shows how even those without highly specialized mathematical knowledge may constructtheir own charts. 35s. net from all booksellers.
