![]() My point is better illustrated by the asme prices for technical information. I have no idea if i'm getting a 30 page soft-cover magazine of a technical piece, or a hard-bound book ala mcgraw-hill. I agree that it is necessary, and am all for giving, however, i have no way to preview the product in this particular case. RE: WRC Bulletins (Mechanical) 10 Nov 09 17:57. In the recent years (not only due to current recession) companies don't have so much spare cash laying around to support research. It begs the question, if no one supports this fundamental engineering research with dollars to buy relatively cheap bulletins, then who else will pay for it? And what will happen to our fields when there is no more new research because the authors and researchers aren't supported any longer? In years past, large companies had deeper pockets and there was prestige in sponsoring research. In most cases the writing is done by the authors for free, there may be compensation from from ASME, API, or other supporters for experimental testing, etc. However, the Welding Research Council probably isn't getting rich off the published bulletins, nor are the authors of the bulletins. ![]() You might check in nearby university libraries to see if they have any of these (liable to be old ones if they do). Some of the topics covered in WRC bulletins have also been covered in API publications, so you might check there, also. I can't speak for the rest of their publications. ![]() They are tools, not just reading material, and would be a bit pricy for bathroom reading. They are very specialized publications, but, IF you need them, they would be well worth the $72. I've used WRC 107 and WRC 297 in the past.
