Book Description

Excerpt from Laboratories, Their Planning and Fittings Should this little book prove of service the credit for its genesis must be given to the enterprise of the publishers. In justification for its appearance all that need be said is that search has not revealed any work now in print published in this country which endeavours to deal with laboratories in a manner calculated to bring a building committee, a professorial staff and their architect on common ground for what is essentially a joint undertaking. In so large a field limitations have had to be decided upon, and these pages are confined to the consideration of buildings and fittings for what may be termed educational science as contrasted with technical and workshop require ments. After some general remarks on initiating schemes, an attempt has been made to deal with the specific requirements of chemistry, physics, biology and geology. This is followed by descriptions and illustrations of some recent designs of various magnitudes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
