Bau und Betrieb von Dieselmaschinen Ein Lehrbuch für Studierende: Zweiter Band: Die Maschinen und Ihr Betrieb

by Friedrich Sass

Den im Vorwort zum ersten Band meines Lehrbuches "Bau und Betrieb von Diesel­ maschinen" angekündigten zweiten Band habe ich erst jetzt fertigsteilen können, da ich inzwischen durch andere Arbeiten stark in Anspruch genommen war. Wie der erste, so wendet sich auch der zweite Teil an Studierende des Maschinenbaufaches, denen ich zeigen möchte, wie man Dieselmaschinen baut. Es ist dies kein ganz einfaches Handwerk; es erfordert große Erfahrung, Umsicht und Gewissenhaftigkeit, wenn man in technischer und wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht des Er­ folges sicher sein will. Der verantwortliche Konstrukteur hat sich unablässig davon zu überzeugen, daß alle, auch die scheinbar nebensächlichen Teile sachgemäß entworfen und ausgeführt sind, und daß nichts das Gelingen in Frage stellt. Dies an Beispielen zu zeigen war ich besonders in den Abschnitten IV und V bemüht, in welchen von ersten in- und ausländischen Firmen gebaute Dieselmotoren mit verschieden ausgewählten Einzelteilen dargestellt sind. Diese Abschnitte lesen sich nicht bequem, da ihre Lektüre dem Leser häufiges Umblättern zumutet, wenn er das Zusammenwirken der einzelnen Teile verstehen will; allein, wer Bequemlichkeit sucht, beschäftige sich nicht mit dem Bau von Dieselmotoren. Er wird dann aber eine sehr interessante Kraftmaschine nicht kennen­ lernen. Zusammen mit den in den Abschnitten III bis VI des I. Bandes behandelten Maschi­ nenelementen werden nahezu alle Einzelteile eines Dieselmotors wenigstens einmal im Bild dargestellt und beschrieben. Hinsichtlich der Herstellerfirmen ist Vollständigkeit natürlich ausgeschlossen; hier gebot der Umfang des Buches die Beschränkung auf einige wenige Namen.

Berufs — Lexikon: Welchen Beruf soll ich ergreifen? 600 Berufsbilder mit Angaben über Ausbildung, Fortbildung und Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten

by Hans Deeken

Die Berufswahl ist die bedeutsamste Entscheidung für einen Menschen; denn sie ist ausschlaggebend für den Verlauf des größten Teils seines Lebens. Wie oft aber wird dieseWahlnach augenblicklichen Gegebenheiten getroffen, die später keine Gültig­ keit mehr haben! Wie oft auch macht sich der Junge ein ganz falsches Bild von "seinem" Beruf! Sinn und Zweck dieses Buches ist es deshalb in erster Linie, den vor der Berufswahl stehenden Jugendlichen sowie ihren Eltern und Erziehern einen umfassenden Ein­ blick in das gesamte Berufsleben zu ermöglichen und damit Anregungen für die Berufswahl zu geben; denn nur wer die vielen Berufe kennt, die einem jungen Menschen offenstehen, wer über die Fähigkeiten, die sie voraussetzen, über die An­ forderungen, die sie stellen, und über die Arbeits-und Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten Be­ scheid weiß, kann seine Wahl richtig treffen, kann seinen Beruf finden und sich damit viele Enttäuschungen, ja vielleicht sogar ein verpfuschtes Leben ersparen. Das Buch bringt keine wissenschaftliche und psychologische Berufskunde. Es zeigt den berufstätigen Menschen an seinem Arbeitsplatz, schildert seine Ausbildung, was er zu leisten hat, wie er vorwärtskommen kann. Von dem Grundsatz ausgehend, daß Anschauung die beste Lehrmeisterin ist, wird der in leichtverständlicher Sprache gehaltene Text durch reiche Bebilderung erläutert. Der Jugendliche, der das Buch gelesen hat, wird sich eine richtige Vorstellung von den verschiedenen Berufen machen können. Damit sind viele Fehlentscheidungen bei seiner Wahl von vornherein ausgeschlossen. Den Eltern erleichtert das Buch die Beratung, mit der sie ihren Kindern, die ins Berufsleben eintreten, zur Seite stehen.

Der Theodolit im Unterricht (Beihefte für den mathematischen Unterricht #8)

by Rolf Jäger

Dieses Heft. will anschaulich zeigen, wie vielseitig ein Theodolit im Unter­ richt verwendet werden kann, um das Interesse der Schüler an der an­ gewandten Mathematik zu wecken. Die Darstellungen sind an keine Schul­ art gebunden, denn die Übungen reichen von einfachen Winkel-, Strecken­ und Höhenmessungen als Grundlagen für die Zeichnung einer Karte bis zu astronomischen Beobachtungen, die ein Zurechtfinden auf der Erde ermöglichen. Aus der Fülle dieser Zusammenstellung mag ein jeder sich das heraus­ suchen, was gerade interessiert und dem Ausbildungsgrad angepaßt ist. Die Übungen geben Stoff zur rechnerischen oder auch zur zeichnerischen Auswertung, zu deren Durchführung meistens nur ein gesunder Menschen­ verstand die Voraussetzung ist. Die Beispiele mit vielen Hinweisen für die praktische Durchführung der Übungen sind so ausgewählt, daß einfache Messungen mit möglichst wenig Zeit aufwand in unmittelbarer Nähe der Schule durchführbar sind. Es wird aber auch auf umfangreiche Übungen hingewiesen, die als Anregungen für den Unterricht in Landschulheimen oder für Arbeitsgemeinschaften ge­ dacht sind. Der einleitende Überblick über die Aufgaben der Landesvermessung möge veranschaulichen, wie jede der in diesem Heft vereinfacht behandelten Übungen ihren Platz im groß angelegten Vermessungswerk hat.

The Wisdom of Balahvar: A Christian Legend of the Buddha (David Marshall Lang's Journey from Russia to Armenia via Caucasian Georgia #3)

by David Marshall Lang

Originally published in 1957 and forming a companion volume to The Balavariani, this volume provides valuable research into the biography of Gautama Buddha and its influence on medieval Christian thought. This work, the romance of Barlaam and Josaphat, was included by Caxton in The Golden Legend and inspired the episode of the Caskets in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice; its heroes were venerated as Saints. Over a century ago, however, the legend was finally identified as an adaptation of episodes from the life and ministry of the Buddha. The first part of the book is devoted to tracing the development and migration of the Barlaam and Josaphat legend from its original Buddhist environment to the West. The second part is a translation of the Georgian text – the first published in any Western European language. The volume therefore gives one of the oldest Near Eastern versions of the story.
