Text-Book of the Materials of Engineering

by Herbert Fisher Moore

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

My book is much older than the edition described above.

My TextBook of the Materials of Engineering is the 8th edition by Herbert F. Moore and Mark B. Moore; copyright 1953 by Mcgraw Hill; Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 53-5172.

I picked this book up at a yard because it was old. Although, I don't have an interest in engineering, I've read through this book to feed my imagination. Who wouldn't; the first copyright was 1917. I can't say I've learned all the engineering content, well nothing applicable to pratical purposes, but each time I pick up this book I'm reminded books don't always tell one story.
