It concentrates on outlining those procedures which will result in good, sound design rather than on background theory and each stand alone chapter will enable the solution of the particular design area being addressed. Numerous flow charts and diagrams in each chapter outline the procedures in an accessible way. The practical nature of the text is further enhanced by the inclusion of manufacture independent guidance on the selection of stock items. Compiled by experts in their particular field, this book will become an invaluable reference source, enabling desiners to avoid errors, save time and define requirements more precisely.
