manual andadhering to itshould notappear to
be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realise that a
machine isgood,to buyit andto believe that
now everything should work by itself.
The person
concernedwould notonly harm himself but also
make themistake of blaming themachine for the
reason of apossible failure instead of himself. In
order toensure good success one should go into
the mindof athing, make himself familiar with
every part of the machine and to get ac
quainted
with its handling. Only in this way would you be
satisfiedbothwith themachineasalso with
yourself.Toachievethisisthepurposeofthisin-
