Written in 1946 by W.D.

Poole published "The Harding Index" out of Boston in the 1940's. The Barometer is: "A Graphic Presentation of Fundamentals for use as a guide in making decisions regarding Men, Money, Materials."

Since the binding is still intact I feel this may have been the publishers error/oversight that they were not included.) Reference letter from Westinghouse Electric Treasurer and General Manager. --
