The majority of these- references are obtained from the Engineering Index Service. They are classified according to industries and topics. It is to be hoped that this arrangement will make the references more useful to our members, and facilitate preserving them for future reference. Addresses of magazines referred to in this issue will be found on pages 1315 -16. Arrangements l:ave been made with The Engineering Societies Library whereby that library will usually supply photostatic copies (white printing on black back- ground) of any of the articles listed herein. The price of each print, up to 11 by 14 inches in size, is 25 cents plus postage. A separate print is required for each of the larger periodicals, but whenever possible, two pages will be photographed together on the same print. T o avoid misunderstanding as to charges, orders for prints should not ordinarily be placed until special inquiry as to the total number of pages has been made. When ordering prints, identify the article by quoting from the Bulletin item the following: (1) Title of article, (2) name of periodical in which it appeared, (3) date of publication of periodical, and (4) page numbers. Orders should be sent to Engineering Societies Library, 29 West 39th Street, New York, N. Y. If desired, a member may usually secure a copy of any of the magazines referred to by ordering direct from the publisher. Photostats of starred ( *) articles cannot be provided.
