Contributions to the Data on Theoretical Metallurgy: [Part] 5. Heats of Fusion of Inorganic Substances
From Introduction: "Examples of the use of the derived heat-of-fusion values in the application of thermodynamics to problems concerning metallurgical practice are not given here, but the reader is referred to the textbook of Lewis and Randall (454), in which the methods and types of calculations are adequately portrayed, and to the papers of Maier (469, 470, 471), in which the application of thermodynamic methods to various problems of metallurgical interest has been illustrated and discussed."

Contributions to the Data on Theoretical Metallurgy: [Part] 6. A Revision of the Entropies of Inorganic Substances--1935
From Introduction: "Moreover, a critical study of the existing vapor-pressure data made by the author (98) furnishes entropy of vaporization results suitable for obtaining approximate values of the entropies of a number of gases from the entropies of the solids or liquids. Consequently, it appears worth while at the present time to supplement the former publication, giving the new values now obtainable and making such revision in the older values as the data warrant."

Permissible Coal-Cutting Equipment Approved Prior to July 1, 1932
From Schedules, Approvals, and Approval Plates: " This schedule has been revised from time to time to conform with information gained from testing a large variety of equipment and to bring the requirements in line with new developments in the art. As the approval plate on a machine evidences compliance with the safety requirements established by the Bureau the user, in fairness to the Bureau and the manufacturer, should not operate such a machine if it has been changed from the design approved without authority or if it has become unsafe through neglect or accident. The machine should be in proper condition, or the approval plate should be removed and destroyed."

Contributions to the Data on Theoretical Metallurgy: [Part] 3. The Free Energies of Vaporization and Vapor Pressures of Inorganic Substances
From Introduction: "It is the purpose of this present work (1) to apply the previously compiled entropy values and specific-heat equations to vapor-pressure and other pertinent data in obtaining heat and free energy of vaporization equations for inorganic substances valid up to the normal boiling or sublimation points (760 mm pressure), (2) to supplement wherever possible the data on heats and entropies of transformations and fusions, (3) to supplement wherever possible the data on heats and entropies of gases, and (4) to supply tables of vapor pressures for inorganic substances at various temperatures up to and including the boiling or sublimation point."

Engineering Factors in the Ventilation of Metal Mines
From Introduction Purpose and Scope of Report: "In the belief that the quickest and cheapest method of obtaining effective ventilation of metal mines with regard to air conditions that promote efficiency, health, and safety is through more general application of the engineering factors involved rather than by trial and error and this method of attacking ventilation problems will be facilitated by a simple, concise statement of these factors and the methods of using them, an attempt is made in this bulletin to present the subject of metal-mine ventilation to mine operators in a practical way."

Static Electricity in Nature and Industry
From Introduction: "In this bulletin "static electricity" is used in its commonly accepted meaning to include the various manifestations that result from the coming together or neutralization of positive and negative charges with have been separated by friction between unlike substances or otherwise. Although the scope of the this report is rather broad, it deals primarily with static electricity as a hazard. Casual and experimental observations recorded herein are thus given for a background and for the purpose of suggesting hazards not yet recognized."

Petroleum Refinery Statistics: 1930
From Summary: "The year 1930 marked a turning point in record-breaking performances for refining industry. From the time of the first refinery statistics of the Bureau of Mines in 1916 through 1929 the utilization of crude at refineries and the production of the principal product (motor fuel) has increased steadily. In 1930, however, the depressed conditions had a noticeable effect on motor-fuel consumption, which only increased 5 per cent over that in 1929, compared with an average annual increase for the preceding decade of 16 per cent.
