“The author discusses in a very clear manner the defects usually found in boilers, engines, steam pipes, pumps, and accessories, and notes the remedies that have been devised to overcome them. The book is, in fact, a recount of his experience with such machinery, and should prove useful to stationary engineers, machinists and others who wish to know how to make engines, boilers, etc., operate correctly, and how to remedy defects in them when they appear.... The book is concluded with notes, rules and tables of useful information.”—Engin. N.

Cravath, James Raley, and Lansingh, Van Rensselaer. Practical illumination. *$3. McGraw pub.
7–17392.
“The authors, in the preface to their book, point out that their object is ‘to present exact practical information of every-day use on many points that come up in arranging artificial lighting.’ They make no attempt to treat of the apparatus for the production of light, but rather to confine the work to the much neglected subject of how best to use the light after it is produced. A great many tests are shown giving information on the light distribution of various illuminants with different globes, reflectors and shades. Much of this information has not before been available to the general reader.”—Engin. N.
