Book Description
Excerpt from The Civil Engineer's Pocket-Book Bould experts in engineering complain that they do not find anything of interest in this volume, the writer would merely remind them that it was not his intention that they should. The book has been prepared for young members of the profession and one Of the leading Objects has been to elucidate, in plain English, a few important elementary principles which the savants have envel Oped in such a haze of mystery as to render pursuit hopeless to any but a confirmed mathematician. Comparatively few engineers are good mathematicians; and in the writer's opinion, it is fortunate that such is the case; for nature rarely combines high mathematical talent, with that practical tact, and observation of outward things, so essential to a successful engineer.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Field Book for Civil Engineers Chapter VI. treats of construction, consequently here, among other things, are introduced methods of setting out the work and computing quantities. The difficulties which the young engineer experiences in setting slope stakes, were kept vividly in mind when writing this chapter. It is believed that the subject is presented in such a simple manner, and so fully illustrated, that he can easily comprehend it, and make ready use of the methods explained. Chapter VII., on Frogs and Switches, is from the pen of my esteemed friend and former student, Lewis C. Weldin, C. E., Assistant Engineer Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Weldin's twenty years' experience in the engineering department of this famous highway, qualifies him to present, with the authority of an expert, this subject in a most practical manner. By adopting a notation slightly different from that of other writers under this head, he has, in many cases, obtained results much simpler than any hitherto published, and he has increased the value of his work by the introduction of numerous formulas and examples, selected from his extensive practice. I therefore desire to express here my acknowledgments to Mr. Weldin for this valuable chapter. The book contains all the necessary tables for field use. Among them are included tables of natural trigonometric functions, sines, cosines, secants, cosecants, tangents, cotangents, versed sines, and exsecants, as well as tables of radii, long chords, squares, cubes, functions of a one-degree curve, and numerous others.

Book Description
Excerpt from Standard Forms of Field Notes for Civil Engineers The object of this book is to present forms for notetaking, and such necessary instructions in the use of them, that an engineer can take a complete set of notes and record the results of a survey in neat and workman-like manner. In all the books dealing with Surveying.and Railroad Location very little space has been given to the art of recording notes. An engineer who has worked long in the field will gradually develop a system of note-keeping which he will follow in a general way time after time; yet he will sometimes vary from his form in a few minor instances just enough to confuse a draftsman. As for the younger members of the profession, it is often hard for them to record the results of their surveys in such a manner that they can translate the notes themselves, unless they are plotted while the survey is still fresh in their minds. It is a very common thing to see an engineer called into the office to explain his notes to the draftsman; or a party returned to the field to get information which should have been taken in the original survey. An engineering party can be placed in the field and maintained only at a very large expense; and speed and accuracy is demanded by every employer.

Excerpt from Engineers' Pocketbook of Reinforced Concrete For a person occupied and making his living as an engineer it is at besta thankless task to write a pocketbook in his spare moments, but when the subject is so comparatively new and where such wonderful possibilities for additions and amend ments are confronting one it is almost impossible to find a proper moment when the book may be considered temporarily finished.
