Abstract
THE writer of this review read and admired many of the chapters composing this book as they appeared in the Engineer during the opening months of last year. The treatment is entirely non-mathematical in the ordinary sense of the term, and the author is to be congratulated on having produced a book which will appeal to all who are interested in gyroscopic action. Moreover, it will be of use to engineers and navigating officers who are responsible for the care of working instruments.
