Vols. 1-2 have spine title "Mechanical laboratory equipment, students' reports." Vol. 1 focuses on a description of the history, operation, buildings, and equipment of Sibley College's Dept. of Experimental Engineering. Vol. 2 consists of reports on tests of mechanical equipment. Vol. 3 has spine title "Investigation and research. Effect of cold rolling, Prof. H. Diederichs," and consists of a report on the effect of cold rolling on the physical properties of steel, prefaced by a letter from H. (Herman) Diederichs to R.H. (Robert Henry) Thurston, Director of Sibley College.
