Slightly better than good condition.
Taken from preface: "Previously there has been available very little, if any, collated material dealing with balancing from this practical or productive, standpoint. The object of this volume is to supply the need for such information by giving in a comparatively simple practical form a resume of the factors affecting balance, together with a description of the better-known apparatus now available for detecting unbalance, as well as the methods and calculations invovled in the actual correction of bodies which are shown by the equipment to require it". Green cloth, gilt titles. B/w photos and a few fold-out diagrams and tables. Ex-lib with usual library stamps and labels. Library mark to base of spine. Corners rubbed, front cover scuffed. Some light marks to contents but generally very good.
