Hi all,
Next Saturday’s review will be a little different than usual. Up until now, anything I wrote about in the weekend space was based on a book I’d read. Next week’s post will be about three articles I read online (please refer to the endnotes for the link to these articles).
I’m making an exception for The Unwritten Laws of Engineering by W.J. King. The main reason is that King’s 1944 book was not very easy to find - if I could have gotten the book, I would have, and then written about it here.
I do know that much – if not all – of this work was released in a series of articles published by Mechanical Engineering magazine in 1944. So when I found the articles I link to below, I figured it was close enough to what I wanted that I printed the articles out and treated it like a short book.
Months after I finished reading, I’m still not sure if what I read was the real thing or not (editor's note: probably not). It’s possibly just a series of excerpts from the original. Luckily, I took enough from whatever it was that I’d read to figure it was worth reviewing here. At the end of the day, it’s not really the medium that counts when I consider writing about it here. What matters is whether I think others will want to read about what I learned.
Thanks for reading.
Tim

Though I did go to the step of writing next week’s ‘reading review’, I did not go so far as to counting these articles as a book on my year end reading list.
