The contributors and advisers consulted hundreds of sources when preparing
the material for inclusion in this handbook. Besides using the books and other

publications listed as references in the “Related Calculations” for most
procedures, the editor, contributors and advisers consulted and drew material
from technical magazines and journals, trade-association standards,
engineering and scientific papers, industrial and engineering catalogs, and a

variety of similar publications. Most of these are noted in appropriate places
throughout the handbook. Additional acknowledgments, listed in the order
