Old school engineer book
I purchased this book to continue studying all aspects of Fire Hydraulics. This book however is in every fire station in my department and has been for the past 30 years. The information is very "old school" There is nothing wrong with that, but it seems very distant from todays teaching. Some of the pictures and the drawings are interesting, but many are outdated compared to todays water supply components. Great book to see how they used to do it.
