Abstract
THE original German edition of this book was published in 1934, and a second edition was found necessary in less than twelve months. From this second edition Mr. Field has prepared the present translation, and has also brought the text rather more up to date. The book gives in condensed form the essentials of the working of aluminium and its alloys, the object being to bring home the merits and possibilities of aluminium to a wide circle of users and potential users. This purpose it fulfils admirably.
