Well if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then Trevor and Gerard should be feeling well flattered!

Having done a (very) quick shufty at the book today it looks awfully like a precis of the G&G book.This may not be a bad thing if people don't want to fork out for the big books, and want to avoid a lot of maths. I do worry though that reducing the scope so much that some serious information may be lost.

It does give good descriptions of measurement techniques which has to be a good thing.

Hope that doesn't sound a bit rude. It's meant as sensible criticism.

Cheers Dave

Nice thought Brad but being in the UK makes it a bit difficult. I hope it goes well. I shall certainly be following peoples efforts. I think anything that encourages the application of the body of technical knowledge that has built up has to be a good thing. Cheers Dave

My copy of the book arrived today. I'll start digging into it tomorrow.
