For further infor- mation and more complete lists of references the reader is referred to other appropriate hand- books within the Series.

The three handbooks comprising "Elements of Armament Engineering" were produced from text material prepared for use at the United States Military Academy, They are published as part of the Handbook Series to make generally available the wealth of fundamental information contained in the text material, which is of value to those concerned with ordnance design, par- ticularly to new engineers and to contractors' personnel.

Publication of this material in its casting form avoids the necessity of extending Arrangement for publication of the handbooks comprising "Elements of Armament Engineer- ing" was made under the direction of the Ordnance Engineering Handbook Office, Duke University, under contract to the Office of Ord- nance Research. The copy was prepared by the McGraw-Hill Book Company, under subcontract to the Ordnance Engineering Handbook Office. HI

This text has been prepared to meet a specific requirement as a reference for instruction in "Elements of Armament Engineering," a one- semester course in applied engineering analysis conducted by the Department of Ordnance at the United States Military Academy, for mem- bers of the First {Senior) Class. It represents the application of military, scientific, and engineer- ing fundamentals to the analysis, design and op- eration of weapons systems, including nuclear components.

It is not intended to fully orient or familiarize the student in weapons employ- ment or nomenclature. References cited are those available to the student as the result of study in previous courses at the United States Military Academy. Advanced references are available at the Department of Ordnance Reference Room. Contributing authors for 1958-59 revision are: Maj. W. E. Rafert, Ord Corps, Asst. Professor Capt. A. W. Jank, Ord Corps, Instructor Capt. C. M. Jaco, Jr., Ord Corps, Instructor Capt. J. M. Cragin, Ord Corps, Instructor Capt. C. K.

Patterson, USAF, Instructor Of necessity, the large volume of classified data used in presentation of this course has been omitted; hence the text is intended to serve as a point of departure for classroom discussions. The text is revised annually by instructors of the Department of Ordnance in an effort to assure that subject presentation will keep pace with JOHN D. BILLINCSLEY Colonel, U. S. Army Professor of Ordnance August, 1958 IV
