MATERIALS OF ENGINEERINa. 



A work designed for Engineers, Students, and Artisans in woo-'', 

 metal, and stone. Also as a TEXT-BOOK in Scientific Schools, show- 

 ing the properties of the subjects treated. By Prof. R. H. Thurston. 

 Well illustrated. In three parts. 



Part I. THE NON-METALLIC MATERIALS OP ENGINEER- 

 ING AND METALLURGY. 

 With Measures in British and Metric Units, and Metric and Reduction 

 Tables 8vo, cloth, S3 00 



Part II. IRON AND STEEL. 



The Ores of Iron ; Methods of Reduction ; Manufacturing Processes ; 

 Chemical and Physical Properties of Iron and Steel ; Strength, Duc- 

 tility, Elasticity and Resistance ; Elfects of Time, Temperature, and 

 repeated Strain ; Methods of Test ; Specifications 8vo, cloth, 3 50 



Part III. THE ALLOYS AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS. 



Copper, Tin, Zinc, Lead, Antimony, Bismuth, Nickel, Aluminum, etc.; 

 The Brasses, Bronzes; Copper-Tin-Zinc Alloys; Other Valuable 

 Alloys; Their Qualities, Peculiar Characteristics; Uses and Special 

 Adaptations; Thurston's "Maximum Alloys"; Strength of the 

 Alloys as Commonly Made, and as Affected by Special Conditions; 



The Mechanical Treatment of Metals 8vo, cloth, 3 50 



"As intimated above, this work will form one of the most complete as 

 well as modem treatises upon the Materials used in all sorts of Building 

 Constructions. As a whole it forms a very comprehensive and practical 

 book for Engineers, both Civil and Mechanical." — American Machinist. 



" We regard this as a most useful book for reference In its departments ; 

 it should be in every Engineer's librarj'." — Mechanical Engineer. 



MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION. 



A Text-book for Technical Schools, condensed from Thurston's 

 "Materials of Engineering." Treating of Iron and Steel, their ores, 

 manufacture, properties and uses; the useful metals and their alloys, 

 especially brasses and bronzes, and their " kalchoids " : strength, 

 ductility, resistance, and elasticity, effects of prolonged and oft- 

 repeated loading, crystallization and granulation ; peculiar metals : 

 Thurston's " maximum alloys " ; stone ; timber ; preservative pro- 

 cesses, etc., etc. By Prof. Robt. H. Thurston, of Cornell University. 



Many illustrations Thick 8vo, cloth, 5 00 



"Prof. Thurston has rendered a great service to the profession by the 

 publication of this thorough, yet comprehensive, text-book. . . . The 

 book meets a long-felt want, and the well-known reputation of its author 

 is a sufficient guarantee for its accuracy and thoroughness."— Building. 



TREATISE ON FRICTION AND LOST WORK IN MACHIN- 

 ERY AND MILL WORK. 

 Containing an explanation of the Theory of Friction, and an account 

 of the various Lubricants in general use, with a record of various 

 experiments to deduce the laws of Friction and Lubricated Surfaces, 

 etc. By Prof. Robt. H. Thurston. Copiously illustrated. .8vo, cloth, 3 00 



"It is not too high praise to say that the present treatise is exhaustive 

 and a complete review of the whole subject."— .lmerica?i Engineer, 



STATIONARY STEAM-ENGINES. 



Especiallj' adapted to Electric Lighting Purposes. Treating of the 

 Development of Steam-engines— the principles of Construction and 

 Economv, with description of Moderate Speed and High Speed En- 

 gines. By Prof. R. H. Thurston 12mo, cloth, 1 50 



" This work must prove to be of great interest to both mauufacturers and. 

 Tisers of steam-engiues."— iiM^^cZer and Wood-worker,
