Some parts of this book are clearly outdated (mostly the computer related parts), but it's not a surprise given its age. The theory of measurement systems in the first part of the book, however, are pretty much timeless, and quite well written. It's great the the whole book was written with an industrial environment in mind, thus every introduced theory and equipment is scrutinized regarding efficiency, cost, possible failure points, possible better solutions. This makes me think that even if I'm not working in a factory (but in a lab), the ways of thinking about equipment is the more important part of the message, not the actual details of instruments that are quite possibly obsolete. Though, wouldn't be surprised if many of those gadgets are still in used in corners of all kinds of factories....

De cursus meetsystemen in het 4de jaar burg. ir aan de KULeuven is op dit boek gebaseerd. Zeer degelijk !
