Excerpt from The Composition of Technical Papers
All of these demands upon his Skill in speaking and writing will come to every engineer; to the ambitious and successful engineer will almost certainly come in addition the desire to put his ideas into guid black prent or the invitation to address some technical or lay association. However valuable the ideas which he may wish to present on these occasions may be, his printed article or his address is not likely to be to his credit if he is incoherent or weak. The editors of technical journals do not care to give up the valuable inches in their magazines to men who do not know how to say what they wish to say; and societies soon cease to invite to-their platforms men who ramble, stammer, and confuse them with illogical and unentertaining presentations. On the other hand, the engineer who is skillful and clear and easy in speech and written expres sion never knows the depressing feeling of inability which comes to the untrained man who tries to express him self, and the more depressing sense of failure which comes to such a man at the realization that his readers can not understand him or his audience follow him.
