Non-Ferrous and Organic Materials: A Treatise for Aircraft, Automobile, and Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturers, Constructors, Designers, Draughtsmen, Students, and Others (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Non-Ferrous and Organic Materials: A Treatise for Aircraft, Automobile, and Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturers, Constructors, Designers, Draughtsmen, Students, and Others The present volume is the second one of what is intended to be a fairly complete elementary treatise on the subject of engineering materials intended for automobile, aircraft, and general mechanical work. The first volume is confined to ferrous materials, whilst the present one covers the non ferrous metals, timbers, and other organic materials. It is, of course, not possible to deal very fully with any one of the sections included (large treatises may be written on each of same), but it is hoped that the portions more useful to the engineer have been touched upon in most cases.
