This BOOK ON CD is a facsimile of the 1914 manual published by the W. F. Stanley company, the leading producers of mathematical and scientific instruments of the period. These instruments are pictured in detailed engravings along with an in-depth look at their history, calibration and use. This is not a catalog and there are no prices. It is more of a reference book and, therefore, much more scarce than the catalogs of the period. There is no reprint available of any edition of this book. This CD-ROM is the only way you can get a copy of this book besides purchasing an expensive original.

Why our books on CD are a better choice than most "E-books."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Books on CD by Destiny Publications are exact replicas of ~ and produced in the same format as ~ the originals. They include all illustrations ~ in high resolution ~ along with the footnotes (when applicable), both of which are often absent from E-books. Our publications are presented in one of the world's most widely recognized file formats, Adobe Acrobat Reader. This versatile format is compatible with all operating systems (Windows, Mac and Linux). If you don't already have Reader installed on your computer, versions for most operating systems are provided on every disk.
Our exclusive series of books on CD make available to everyone rare and out-of-print titles, which would otherwise be too costly and difficult for the average reader to acquire. If you owned an original copy of one of these books, it is likely that it would be too valuable to risk deterioration by handling it. These archival copies on CD, when properly cared for, have an estimated life of 100 years.
Another key advantage of this format is that the pages can be sized to adjust to the comfort level of the reader. Also, the high resolution illustrations can be increased to reveal details otherwise hidden. Not only is the format ideal for desktop and laptop computers but hand held models as well. It is even compatible with screen reader programs designed for the vision impaired.
When traveling, it is more convenient to pack a few CDs to view on a laptop than to haul along a stack of books. Many of our books have string search capabilities, which can be used to quickly locate any word or combination of words. Another way to get to the subject fast are the active links to every chapter in the table of contents.
