Excerpt from Graphic Methods of Engine Design: Including a Graphical Treatment of the Balancing Engines It has been, in places, somewhat difficult to steer a mean course between pedantic accuracy of expression and a dangerous laxity, such as is too common among engineers. In particular, as regards the words mass and weight, though the author is convinced that it is better in the long run to assign to each its strict meaning, yet, in deference to the objection which so many engineers have to the word mass, it has not been used more than is absolutely necessary to the sense. N o departure has been made from strict accuracy which could cause confusion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
