    Default Free Engineering Handbook PDF

    I just came across this free engineering handbook PDF via the Make-a-Key site.
    I've only skimmed it for now but it looks interesting.
    Apologies if this has been posted before.

    THANKS Bollie7

    It would be a good one to keep. A very readable publication.

    I'll put a link in the data and calculations section.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you download it as a PDF?
    To me it only appears to be available online.
    Cheers.

    Vernon.

    Same here. My iMac did not want a bar of it.

    But there was no statement it was downloadable was there?

    Its free and available and better than a poke in the eye with a burn't stick.

    Rookies

    A quick google using the following search term returned the goods:
    glhuyettengineeringhandbook filetype: pdf
    the last phrase returns only .pdf documents.
    (pro tip, also works for other file types)


    The link to the .pdf doc is below, if you don't wish to practice your new 1337haxx0r skillz.

    I'm running Linux Mint at home. To save, its just right click, then select "Save as". It then gives the option of where to save it but it saves as a .HTML file, not a PDF.
    I didn't actually take that much notice of the file type earlier today as I was in a hurry. I just assumed it was a PDF. So sorry about that. (I'm not promoting Linux here. I just don't have access to a windows PC atm.)

    I'm pretty sure Windows has a similar feature.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Grahame.
    Until now I didn't realise there was a data section. I've never scrolled that far down the page. oops.

    Hi Peter, Guys,

    Neither did I. Though the alternate link works.

    The alternate link works fine.
    Trouble is flicking through it I was having flashbacks to things I did and studied years ago and have little memory of now.
