The book is a collection of Practical Suggestions for Time Saving Labor on Civil Engineering and Construction Work. The articles in the book were originally published by Engineering News-Record. This book was copyrighted in 1928 by McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. As stated in the books Preface – The material in the book is intended to be of use to contractors, civil engineers, construction engineers, superintendents and foremen by indicating to them methods of handling details of their work quickly, cheaply, and effectively. As a rule the articles are short, dealing with a single construction feature which actual experience has proved valuable. In a few cases longer articles have been included to sum up the best current practice in important kinds of work. Explanations of construction kinks are most effective when accompanied by a photograph or a drawing. Often the illustration tells the whole story. For that reason an unusually large number of cuts is used in the text that follows; only enough reading matter is given to explain the detail under consideration. The material has been assembled under fourteen main headings... Content headings are: Construction ; Concrete and Concrete Materials ; Structural ; Sewers ; Welding Operations ; Construction Safety ; Highways and Traffic ; Tunnels ; Surveying ; Hydraulic ; Water Supply ; Waterways ; Railways ; Miscellaneous.
