Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo. x, 182pp + 48pp bw plates, index. Or red cloth in jacket. Minimal toning to endpapers. Jacket price clipped, faded on spine and slightly rubbed. Volume in the Without Formulae Series. Material on both piston and turbine engines is presented without mathematical formulae. It is therefore suited to engineers and technicians who "think in metals". The types of piston and turbine engine discussed are those used in aircraft propulsion though it has a broad enough basis to make it suitable for the study of motor transport applications of the piston engine, marine applications of small piston engines, and those gas turbines which are directly developed from aircraft engines.
