Excerpt from Problems in the Use and Adjustment of Engineering Instruments: Forms for Field-Notes; General Instructions for Extended Students' Surveys These problems, which have had the benefit of revision after two years' use, are designed to keep each student busy at some definite work, for which he has definite instructions, and to utilize so thor oughly the limited time usually available for this work, that he will have a working knowledge of all the more common engineering instruments by the time he is ready for more advanced work. The student's attention is called to the degree of precision that is required in instrumental work in order to obtain any required precision in the final results - a feature often neglected. Systematic note-keep ing, for which forms are given, is required of the students. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
