Customer Reviews

Well-written book covering a very useful topic

This book has been very useful for me as an EE. It is very well written and is laid out in a clear manner. I've worked with Dr. Marangoni and discussed this book with him and he is a very intelligent and insightful person. This book has been in existence at least 25-30 years and is as applicable today as it was when it was written.

Great NEW edition

The authors, in their new 6th edition of Mechanical Measurements, have overhauled most of the book. The new edition is much improved and makes great reference book for various measurement techniques. Very well-indexed.
