A tad dated but still useful

I did not know that they could pack so much into one book. By the way, this book is big and heavy.
1. Mathematical Tables
2. Mathematics
3. Mechanics of Solids & Fluids
4. Heat
5. Strength of Materials
6. Materials of Engineering
7. Fuels & Furnaces
8. Machine Elements
9. Power Generation
10. Materials Handling
11. Transportation
12. Building Construction and Equipment
13. Shop Processes
14. Pumps & Compressors
15. Electrical and Electronics Engineering
16. Instruments and Controls
17. Industrial Engineering
18. Environment Control

The sections do not do justice to the almost infinite about of information and tables contained in this volume; for example, under digital computers, there is a table on Binary-Octal-Dismal conversions. Interestingly enough they left off Hexadecimal.

It makes for good reading if you want to fill in information that you never heard of. The handbook is best suited for people that already have a question so that they can understand the answer.
