A rant about a Chris Kitcher book

[rustynails]

I bought this book over a year and half ago to do 2382/2392. Back then I noticed a few small things that were not right. Especially when cross referencing them with the GN3 etc. Afer doing some of the exercises in the back of the Chris Kitcher book on Inspection and testing second edition it appears that some of the basic principles for calculating R1 + R2 are not correct. In particular it is the books lack of ability to divise the r1 + r2/4 to get an approximation of R1 + R2 calculated from the m/ohm/m value and the length of the circuit given to you in the exercise. All of the answers lack the division. It's either me or I'm going banana's. But I feel let down by this book that I've paid hard earned money for lol something that if I didn't have any other book I would be calculating the incorrect answers...does anyone agree with me, has anyone seen this as well.

You’ve got a least a couple of corrigenda to come before it’s final. Then they can get started on the 18[SUP]th[/SUP].

Sorry i should of been more clear. I was referring to the book by Chris kitcher on inspection and testing.

There are errors,in the Oxford Concise,the Magna Carta,and the Bible......

"Wicked Bible", "Adulterous Bible" or "Sinner's Bible", from 1631: Barker and Lucas: Omits an important "not" from Exodus 20:14, making the seventh commandment read "Thou shalt commit adultery:yesnod:." The printers were fined £300 and most of the copies were recalled immediately. Only 11 copies are known to exist today

"The Fools Bible", from 1763: Psalm 14:1 reads "the fool hath said in his heart there is a God", rather than "...there is no God". The printers were fined £3,000 and all copies ordered destroyed.

Good points, I hope that you are not still in the 'outback' of A. Your post is slightly different from the original. Paraphrased, he said 'there are mistakes in THE Bible', which he has gone on to explain. You have given examples of mistakes in 'printed editions of the Bible. These are clearly 2 different perspectives; one implies that those inspired by Almighty God to write the biblical texts got it wrong, the latter is a matter of poor typographical and proof reading practice.

Well...I think the proof reader(s) should be sacked ;-)

That depends on your translation of my Two Letter Acronym! I was referring to British Standard, with specific reference to BS 7671 and it's associated documents intended to direct common practice and those responsible for proof reading said documents; presumably within the IET.
