CHARLES HURST, Practical Draughtsman. " Concise explanations illustrated by 115 very clear diagrams and drawings and 4 folding- plate» . . . the book fulfils a valu able function.’ —^t/wnæwm. » * "Mr Hurst's valves and valve-gearing will prove a very valuable aid, and tend te the production of Engines of bcientipic design and economical working. . . . Will be largely aought after by Students and Designers.”—Marine Engineer. . •• ÜSEEUL and thoroughly practical. Will undoubtedly be found of great value to all concerned with the design of Valve-gearing.”—Mechanical World. “ Almost EVERY TYPE of valve anu its gearing is clearly set forth, and illustrated in such a wav as to be readily understood and practically applied by either the Engineer, Draughtsman, or Student. . . . Should prove both useful and valuable to all Engineers seeking for reliable and clear information on the subject. Its moderate price brings it within the reach of eM"—Jndustries and Iron. - Mr. Hurst’b work is admirably suited to the needs of the practical mechanic. . It is free from any elaborate thooretical discussions, and the explanations of the varioua types of valve-gear are accompanied by diagrams which render them basilt understood. —The Scientific American.

BONUS TABLES: For Caleulating Wages on the Bonus or Premium Systems. For Engineering, Technical and Allied Trades. By HENRY A. GOLDING, A.M.Inst.M.E., Technical Assistant to Messrs. Bryan Donkin and Clench, Ltd., and Assistant Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the Northampton Institute, London, E.C. “The adoption of this system for the payment of workmen has created a demand for some handy table or series of tables, by means of which the wages may be easily found without the necessity of any calculations whatever. With the object of supplying this need, the author has compiled the following tables, which have been in practical use for some time past at a large engineering works in London, and have been found of inestimable value. Not only are they of great value as a ‘time saving appliance,’ the computation of the bonus or premiums ear; ed by a number of men taking only one tenth the time by the aid of these tables compared with ordinary calculation, but they possess the additional advantage of being less liable to error, as there is practically no possibility of u mistake oc.c.\xYi'hr^." —Extract from Preface.
