The Engineering Design Handbooks have evolved over a number of years for the purpose of making readily available basic information, technical data, and practical guides for the development of military equipment. This 1976 Handbook was prepared by Igor Bazovsky and Associates, Inc. for the Engineering Handbook Office of Duke University, prime contractor to the U.S. Army Materiel Command. The individual chapters were written to stand on their own, with a minimum of cross-referencing between the chapters, so that the reader can concentrate on the chapters which are of specific interest to their activity. The interrelations of maintainability with design engineering and other disciplines (reliability, system effectiveness, logistic support, and life cycle costing) are highlighted through the whole text. Notation and symbols differ in some instances because of the various subjects.
