Volume 2 is also pragmatic about limits. It flags empirical ranges and safety factors, reminding the reader that handbook numbers are starting points—most reliable when combined with sound engineering judgment, appropriate testing, and awareness of operating conditions such as shock, corrosion, or thermal variation. For students and young engineers, that makes the book educational as well as utilitarian: it demonstrates how rules of thumb come from experience and how to adapt them.
