A Directory of Hydraulic Laboratories in the United States has been compiled under the direction of the Hydraulic Research Committee of Engineering foundation, the members of which are J. Waldo Smith, Chief Engineer, Board of Water Supply of the City of New York, and Silas H. Woodward, consulting engineer, New York. The book has eighty-four 7 by 10 inch pages and contains information concerning 49 laboratories in engineering colleges, industrial establishments and governmental bureaus. Only statements furnished by the person responsible for the laboratory have been used in each case. Indirectly, this information affords comparison of equipment in the various laboratories and suggests possibilities of greater usefulness in some instances. The information will be helpful to those contemplating the establishments of new laboratories, to persons desiring to have hydraulic tests or experiments performed, and to students choosing schools in which to pursue the study of hydraulic engineering.
