There are numerous diagrams and drawings, well-structured texts, tables and formulae, enabling readers to quickly find what is required.
Dr Steve Lacey, Engineering Manager at Schaeffler UK, comments: "The Technical Pocket Guide is the perfect desktop companion and aide memoire for anyone involved in engineering, from students and apprentices at the beginning of their careers, right through to experienced mechanical engineers, chief designers and technical directors."
The Guide had specialist support from Prof Dr-Ing Harald Meerkamm, former head of the Chair for Engineering Design at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. His technical and teaching experience enabled the entire content of the Guide to be carefully revised and updated.
Schaeffler also offers the Technical Pocket Guide as a software app, providing a mobile reference guide. In addition to the content of the printed version, the app also includes useful 'search' and 'bookmark' functions, as well as information about Schaeffler. A sharing function enables specific text passages to be shared via email, Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
