Description: This is the Fifth edition that appeared only eight months after the 4th. It is essentially a pre-war book amended as far as possible, given the restrictions in place at the time. Most the illustrations are of pre-war machines. This is a technical book, not intended for the general reader and full of mathematical formulae.
