Excerpt from Practical Marine Engineering for Marine Engineers and Students: With Aids for Applicants for Marine Engineers' Licenses Attention may also be called to the questions at the end of each chapter, each question with page reference to the part of the book where the answer may be found. The answer, of course, will not usually be found in the direct form suggested by the question, but a discussion of the subject will be found giving the information needed for the answer, which may be put into form by the reader for himself. It is believed that such an exercise will be of far greater value than the perusal of a series of ques tions and answers in the usual catechism form.
