Arnold, H. L. and F. L. FAUROTE. Ford methods and the Ford shops. Engineering Magazine, 1915.

"To the manufacturer, manager, or engineer confronted by the problems of mechanical production this exposition will excel in interest and value anything of the kind heretofore attempted, not only by the intrinsic quality of the text and illustrations, but by their exposition of what is up to now the final word in efficient, standardized, repetitive production. The Ford product represents the limit of specialization in a single type, of which each part has been evolved from practically unlimited service tests. But while it thus deals with the production of interchangeable components, embodied, so far as manufacture is concerned, in semi-automatic machinery, and turned out by progressive processing and gang assembling with specialized transportation, it has a very wide application in other lines where similar practice can be adopted in whole or in part, with similar advantages to purchaser, worker, and consumer. Wherever standard articles are manufactured, some part, and perhaps the most important part, of the Ford policies will be found applicable." From the preface.

Bolton, R. P. Power for profit; principles governing the use of machinery and labor in modern buildings. De Vinne Press, 1915.

The installation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical necessities and conveniences in modern buildings are often, by reason of waste and demands on the part of tenants, such as to make the investment less remunerative than it should be. Mr. Bolton, who is an authority on the subject of building management, has written this book for the owner who desires to count the cost, who would know in general the principles which govern the economical relations of power and labor, and something about the relative advantages of public and private service.

"The principal inventions have been selected. The circumstances leading up to them, the developments resulting from them, and the influences bearing upon them, have been considered with all the detail that space permits. But telephone exchange service is not merely a matter of plant and invention.

Technical, commercial, and political threads compose the fabric, and they are interwoven in the record. The recital of the prior causes has served in most cases to make clear the technical features."

Largely theoretical and based upon a laboratory course given to the juniors in Sibley College, Cornell University.

The second part deals with the nature and control of the internal structure of materials. The principles of physical chemistry are presented simply and with helpful diagrams. Certain parts of the book are stated to be new, the details of which have not before appeared in print.

Wood, A. J. Principles of locomotive operation and train control. McGraw-Hill, 1915.

"The absence of a text-book presenting the recent developments in locomotive performance and including a study of air brakes, has led the author to prepare this elementary treatise. While written primarily for use in technical schools, the engineer may here review the theory on which are based certain problems in design and construction. The author has preesnted the principles, beyond which lies the field of extended study." From the preface. Author is associate professor, in charge of railroad mechanical engineering, Pennsylvania State College.
