First edition 1968 Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 68-57169 Printed in Great Britain by D. R. Hillman and Sons, Exeter 08 013446 7 PREFACE Fluidics technology originated in the late nineteen-fifties and developments in this new field have expanded considerably in the last five or six years. This new technology parallels electronics in several ways - most noticeably, perhaps, in control systems - hence the inclusion of this new title in the Pergamon Electronics Data Series. Fluidic logic and control elements and systems can per­ form, reliably, many complex tasks, particularly where equip­ ment has to operate under extreme conditions of temperature, humidity, vibration or shock. This volume presents information on a wide range of fluidic components, systems, techniques and equipment currently available mainly from sources in Britain and America. The Editors hope that it will be found useful by all engineers active in - or interested in acquiring data on - the techniques and equipment used in fluidics. G. W. A. DUMMER. J.
