Abstract

A general discussion of this problem has been included in Chap. 3 under the heading “Materials”. As stated there, some names of material require a few words of explanation. They are arranged alphabetically in a list. For the sake of easy reference, this list is taken out to form a separate chapter and is given here. (When a name is composed of a general term with a qualifier, see under the general term.)
