"Although this little ready calculator has been professedly compiled for the use of naval architects and ship-builders, and contains in a cleverly compressed form much that cannot fail to be appreciated by them both as regards the saving of time in preparing elaborate estimates and the insuring of correctness of results, it must not be supposed that these branches are the only ones in which the information it affords will be welcomed. The numerous tables give at a single reference the weight per foot of nearly every imaginable size and shape of iron, and it needs no argument of ours to convince any of those who are engaged in constructive ironwork of the great value of so handy and reliable a little key to their calculations. Its price is not equal to a tithe of the labour of a single computation."-The Ironmonger's Journal.
