ABSTRACT SUBSTANTIALLY the same publication in the form in which it has appeared for a number of years, “Kempe's Engineer's Year-Book” has been issued in its 1940 edition. Though

once again in its forty-six years' history it has been published in time of war, this fact has not changed its form or restricted the great range of the information it presents. A few

changes there have been, but these are in the nature of those developments which must necessarily take place in a work of this kind in order to keep it up to date and to maintain its

usefulness at a maximum. The section dealing with the costs of engineering works has therefore been excised, for at the time of preparation it was apparent that the prospects of war

negatived its value for so long as conditions should remain abnormal. The space thus released has been occupied with some of the mathematical tables which were discarded a few years ago so

that the bulk of the volume might be limited. The Engineer's Year-Book of Formulæ, Rules, Tables, Data and Memoranda for 1940 A Compendium of the Modern Practice of Civil, Mechanical,

Electrical, Marine, Gas, Aero, Mine and Metallurgical Engineering. Originally compiled by H. R. Kempe and W. Hanneford-Smith. 46th annual issue, revised under the direction of L. St. L.
