Review
By A.M. Strauss, Vanderbilt University

This CD-ROM contains the complete text of the 10th edition of the printed handbook…The disc also has some updated material on the environment, steel, friction, fluid film bearings, gears, air-conditioning, vibrations, robotics, composite materials, and pumps. The installation of the disc proceeded very efficiently…and was completed in a few minutes…One can magnify the text and figures by positive zooming…There is also an icon for many equations, which, when clicked, opens up a Mathcad window where calculations can be performed. A useful feature is the Adobe Acrobat Find feature for searching the entire handbook…Useful for graduate students faculty, researchers and professionals.
