One source I've found invaluable in writing technical stuff is Thomas J.
Glover's *Pocket Ref* (Sequoia Publications, Inc., Littleton, Colorado,
USA). Besides the information about bytes--kilo, mega, and so forth--this
little book has a wealth if information about Air and Gases, Chemistry and
Physics, Electrical (including wire, motors, and frames), geology,
solvents, well, you get the picture.
I heartily recommend this as part of a technical writer's toolkit.
