Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Lessons With Numerical Examples in Practical Mechanics and Machine Design Self conceit and real ignorance are supposed to be the characteristics of their most energetic readers. The teaching power of this collection of examples has already been well tried. Students who have gone through them show that they have obtained a real working knowledge of the application of the principles of Mechanics to Engineering and Machine Design, and that their knowledge is always ready for use. Each exercise fixes firmly in the mind of the student the fact that a certain principle is of importance outside examination rooms. He is not tempted to calculate in cases where actual experimental trial and observation will show him the best solution of a problem, and when he works out an answer which every practical illiterate mechanic knows to be ten times too great, he will not compla cently rest satisfied with this absurd answer and talk about its being theoretically right.
