Excerpt from Lecture Notes on Some of the Business Features of Engineering Practice In preparing the second edition of my Lecture Notes certain additions have been suggested by the experience of the classroom and by changes, almost revolutionary, which have taken place in the industrial field.
As explained in the introduction to the first edition, the lectures and papers contained In Reprints were collected originally for the purpose of cultivating in the students a sympathetic attitude of mind toward the more specific instruction to follow. Experience in the classroom has shown that these papers can also be usefully employed as suggestive material for experience talks. Therefore, with the added addresses, they have been included in this volume as Part I.
In Part II I have brought together my own lecture notes which appeared originally in the first edition of these Notes and its sev eral supplements. Much of this material has been rearranged to bring it into better sequence; and portions have been rewritten wholly or in part.
Considerable new material has been added, particularly on the all-important subject of depreciation.
