There were requests, therefore, to have the information collected, condensed and put into a form convenient for use by engineers. Engineering Foundation undertook to meet the need by asking Professor H. F. Moore, in charge of the investigation at the University of Illinois, to draft a brief summary, or manual, and by inviting several other investigators to examine the draft and make changes or additions. All responded most generously. The Foundation, consequently, is able to present in this small book, an up-to-date statement of knowledge of Fatigue of Metals in a form which, it is hoped, will prove useful to designing, operat- ing and testing engineers. The book will be 5 in. by 73^ in., bound in cloth with stiff boards. It summarizes the results of seven years of experimental investigation of the Fatigue of Metals at the University of Illinois under the auspices of the University, the National Research Council and Engineering Foundation, with the co- operation of several industries. Information from several other investigations has also been incorporated. It was compiled by H. F. Moore, D. Sc., Research Professor of Engineering Materials, in Charge, Investigation of Fatigue of Metals, Uni- versity of Illinois, with the Cooperation of J. A. Capp, Chief of Testing Laboratory, General Electric Company, Schenectady, Ν. Y.; Alfred V. de Forest, Research Engineer, American Chain Company, Bridgeport, Conn.; H. C.
