P. Ennis Shook F le tch e r In s u la tio n No. 3 O ffic e Park C ir c le P. 0 . Box 7496 Birmingham, Alabama Company- Dear Mr. Ennis : This follow s your correspondence with Dean Cox concerning "Thermal In su la tio n " by J . F. M allo y. Dr. Cox has furnished me copies o f your le tte r s o f September 18 and October 16 to him and h is le t t e r o f October 2 to you. Dr. Cox has a lso given me the p r iv ile g e o f reviewing the book and has asked that I respond to you d ire c tly concerning possible uses o f i t in our in stru ctio n a l program. Obviously, the book is an e x c e lle n t referen ce, and I s h a ll u ltim a te ly place the copy you have sent us in our departmental lib r a r y . In the mean tim e, I am g iv in g sev eral o f our fa c u lty members in te re ste d in thermal engineering an opportunity to review the book before i t goes in to the lib r a r y , so th at they may know about i t and so th at they can make i t s a v a ila b ilit y known to stu d en ts. Please le t me o ff e r my congratulations to you on having such an important role in the publishing of th is book. C ertain ly i t is devoted to one o f the more important to p ics in heat tr a n s fe r and mechanical engineering, but more than th a t, i t is concerned with something qu ite important n a tio n a lly in the conservation o f our energy resources. Wise use o f thermal in su la tio n is often the exception rather than the usual p r a c tic e , and I am sure th is book w ill be s ig n ific a n t in providing in fo r mation which w ill h o p e fu lly make many o f those who s p e c ify and i n s t a l l in su la tio n more aware o f the problems they fa c e . You may be aware th a t the modern mechanical engineering curriculum a t Auburn causes students to assim ila te engineering scien ce knowledge at sen io r le v e l by means o f in d iv id u al and group p r o je c t and design courses which axe required o f a l l stu d en ts. Students at th is le v e l w ill undoubtedly f in d many t o p ic s o f s p e c ia l i n t e r e s t in t h is b o o k . THE L A N D - G R AN T U N I V E R S I T Y OF THE S T A T E OF A L A B A M A Mr. J . P. Ennis -2- 5 November 1969 A s p e c ific course in thermal in su la tio n is p o s s ib le , with th is book a v a ila b le . I t may be d esirab le to introduce a te c h n ic a l e le c tiv e on th is s u b je c t, a fte r we have learned, through experience with d irected reading, design, and p ro je ct courses, how i t may most e f f e c t iv e ly be taught and what to p ics should be in clud ed . For such a course, the M alloy book would be the te x t. Let me thank you again, fo r introducing th is book to me and to our fa c u lt y .
