Excerpt from Engineering of to-Day: A Popular Account of the Present State of the Science
Engineering is so closely connected with the con cerns of daily life that it cannot fail to interest the general reader if presented to him in a way that he can readily understand, free from the technical terms which are unintelligible to him. I have attempted this in the present volume, and out of the many topics well worthy of discussion, I have selected those which I believe to be of most general interest, and those which are most typical of the problems with which the engineer has to deal. I have not written for the professional reader, to whom many of my descriptions would necessarily appear inadequate and incomplete.
The illustrations in the text are, in most cases, not exact drawings, but diagrams intended to make the reader understand with the least possible trouble the main features of the things represented.
