A Treatise On Non-Metallic Materials of Engineering: Stone, Timber, Fuel, Lubricants, Etc; Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781144694416)

A Treatise on Non-Metallic Materials of Engineering, Volume 2 by Robert H. Thurston delves into the properties, uses, and practical applications of essential materials in engineering. Focusing on stone, timber, fuel, and lubricants, this comprehensive volume provides detailed insights into their characteristics and suitability for various engineering purposes.

Originally published in 1906, this book offers a valuable historical perspective on the materials science and engineering practices of the early 20th century. It remains a relevant resource for understanding the fundamental principles governing the selection and utilization of non-metallic materials. This volume is essential for engineers, historians of technology, and anyone interested in the evolution of engineering practices.
