Excerpt from Structural Drafting and the Design of Details Grateful acknowledgement is. Made to Professor J. C. Tracy, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at Yale University, and to Professor J. R. Schultz, Head of the Department of English at Allegheny College, for their helpful criticisms of the manuscript. Professor Tracy gave much thought to the perusal of nine of the most fundamental chapters of Part II, and as a result of his constructive criticisms, these chapters, as well as the others in the book, have been greatly improved. Professor Schultz has read the whole manuscript and has made many valuable suggestions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
