Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applied Mechanics: An Elementary Manual on Specially Arranged for the Use of First-Year Science and Art, City and Guilds of London Institute, and Other Elementary Engineering Students The continued popularity of this book and its companion, Elementary "Steam and the Steam Engine," has necessitated new editions of each at the same time. This encouragement has stimulated me to revise them, and to incorporate, as far as possible, at the end of the several Lectures, all the Science and Art Questions for the past dozen years, as well as those set by the Board of Education, South Kensington, up to and including those of 1902. Where this has not been found convenient, the Questions have been inserted under Appendix B., with references for their solution. In Appendix A. I have added short descriptions with illustrations of the best forms of Limit and Micrometer Gauges, as these instruments are now used in many of the best engineering works. I have again to thank Mr. Forrest Sutherland, of Bloemfontein, and now Mr. John Cameron, of Montrose Technical College, for their Communications. In addition to several kind hints from other Teachers and Students, I have to thank Mr. John Fairley, B.Sc., for having helped me with the preparation of this Edition. I shall feel much obliged to Teachers and Students for any hints which will enable me to keep this Manual abreast of the times, as well as their opinions regarding the best kinds of Working Models for demonstrating the most interesting and instructive Problems in this book, with the view of making it as useful as possible to young engineers.
