Abstract
The study of engineering devices begins almost invariably with simplifying assumptions. After this method has led to results, the effects of the assumptions upon the results can be investigated, both in theory and empirically. In some cases, such investigations reveal no significant difference between the simplified model and the actual device. In other cases, the simplifications may have led to results so worthless that a new beginning has to be made, with fewer, or different, such assumptions. Many more cases are found to lie between these extremes.
