"…much needed and long overdue…I have literally handled hundreds of customer calls which ranged through a wide gamut of difficulties and applications challenges. A great majority of these calls could have been avoided had the end user read just the first section of Mr. Broadwell's book…its appeal will span the gamut between the researcher and designing engineer to the actual day to day operator."-John Hunt, Met One, Inc.
