Excerpt from The Engineering Index Annual for 1912, Vol. 29: Compiled From the Engineering Index Published Monthly in the Engineering Magazine During 1912Serial articles are indexed upon the appearance of the first install ment only, thus giving the searcher the clue by which the succeeding articles can be found. This rule has been waived in some instances of articles in two or three installments, which are indexed entire.The index comprises about two hundred and fifty publications. Representing seventeen nations and colonies and six languages. About three-fourths of these journals are printed in English, the others being in German. French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. With every entry a brief descriptive note is given defining the scope and purport of the article, in many cases sufficient for the purpose of the investigator and saving him the labor of further search. In general, however, the index is used as a guide to the otherwise overwhelming mass of information contained in the huge files of the engineering periodicals stacked on the shelves of reference libraries throughout the world.The work as a whole represents the continuation of that originally started by the late Professor J. B. Johnson in the journal of the Associa tion of Engineering Societies in 1884, and turned over by that association to the engineering magazine at the close of 1895. The previous volumes, published in 1892, 1806, 1901, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912, respectively, covered with increasing fulness and thorough ness. The field of periodical literature in engineering and closely related applied sciences. This latest volume brings the investigator down to the December, 1912, monthly part of the engineering index, covering the serial literature of engineering up to October, 1912, while the earlier parts enable searches such as occur in patent cases and the like to be prosecuted with a minimum of cost and delay.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
