Excerpt from The Practical Catechism: A Collection of Questions on Technical Subjects, by Manufacturers and Others, and of Answers Thereto
While the questions in this little book of reference cover a wide range of inquiry, their subjects were chosen by others than the present editor, whose task it has been to answer them as asked. Some emanate from manufacturers, others from merchants, consumers, railway men, and those of a hundred divers avocations. Some have been put into be answered through var ious scientific journals and other periodicals; others have been put by legal counsel and an swered under oath on the stand, in lawsuits in volving large sums of money. Out of the great mass of material at hand in his note books, the editor has selected those which he thought would most interest the largest number of prac tical men; and it is to this class of readers that the volume is addressed and commended.
