Symbols

1st Edition - Stated (Wiley - 1917) GOOD with a few pages containing marginalia. No dust jacket. Binding is tight and square. 165 pages 24 cm. . . . . . . . A pioneering work on the use and potential of symbols in various fields. The book explores the application of symbols beyond their limited use in manufacturing industries at the time. . . . . . . . FROM THE PREFACE: The use of symbols expedites the routine of the day's work by a great saving of time and a much greater saving of space in keeping complete records. Symbols give a brevity, simplicity, stimulus to accuracy, and a scheme of statistical comparison that cannot be obtained by any other means. It is to be regretted that the value of symbols is not better understood. It is my hope that this book may be the means of greatly stimulating the use of symbols and that the keys given herein will form the basis of a universal and standard system, since standardization is one of the important elements of the science of management. The reader can readily adopt the symbols herein listed with little or no modification, and so have the benefit from the start of a system that can be amplified to an unlimited extent to meet any ultimate demands.
