HE* TECHNICAL BOOK To the Dean of Engineering! the need on the pert of industry for a scarce book of lnfora*-- tlon on -- nenufacture, applications and properties of lead, lead alloys and lead compounds has, at least in part, been net through a book recent ly prepared and published by the Lead Indirtrlos Association. At preaent this is the only book devoted in technical detail to virtually all phases of lead in modern industry, hence the title "lead in Modern Industry.* The inclosed review provides further details about the book. Since its release. "Load In Modern Industry* has been nade available to all interested parties at our publication cost of ftl.50 per copy or $1.00 per copy in quantities of ten or nore. However, it is the consensus of the Association that because of its excellent edu cational value, the book should be cade evailable free of charge to the heads of the following departments in accredited colleges and universltiesi Chemistry Cheaical Diginearing Civil Engineering Mechanical Engineerli^ Metallurgy Metallurgical Engineering Sanitary Dtglneerlrg If you will send us the names and proper BLailing addressee of the heads of all of the above departments included In your progran, ve will send then a conpliaerrtary copy.
