It is my absolute honor to write this foreword for Michael and Emma. Michael is a pioneer in the industry and really embodies the true spirit of a multifaceted Industrial Expert as he has worked for over 35 years in all fields of this ever-evolving sector. It also gives me great pleasure to support Emma, a fellow female STEM colleague, as she paves her way into the Industrial sector. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and an unparalleled vocabulary! Michael and Emma have accurately documented thousands of words that are used in the Industry and provided simple explanations to allow readers to comprehend the meanings and use the terminology in the correct context.
When I first started in the industry as a fresh engineering graduate over a decade ago, I realized that I did not speak the same language as the technicians, other engineers, and industry professionals. Every time I heard a new word, I would write it down in my little notepad and look it up later. That notepad got filled quickly! However, even after researching the meanings of the new words and trying to use them, I realized that I would use them in the wrong context! This can be very embarrassing when you are presenting to a room filled with Managers and other Industry Professionals!
As I continued working in the industry, I constantly picked up new terms, but I kept wondering, “What if there was one place that I could find all of this information? It would be so much easier for me and other professionals in the industry!” I was then introduced to Michael D. Holloway and I needed a larger notepad for all those terms! Michael is a walking encyclopedia of information and it is no surprise that his daughter, Emma also inherited this trait!
The Dictionary of Industrial Terminology is an absolute must for anyone working in the Industry or with colleagues in the Industry. It lays the foundation for the bridging of the communication gaps that exist among industry professionals and can even assist sales personnel to utterly understand the needs of their industrial customers. This Second Edition is a game changer for our graduates now entering the industrial sector and for those who have been in the sector but never really comprehended some of the terms used on a daily basis. I would recommend this installment for all personnel within the Industrial sector and urge Supervisors to make it part of their initiation package for all new members of the team to ensure that everyone can communicate effectively.

The rapidly evolving world of technology has necessitated an update to this dictionary. In so many applications, the various meanings of words can be a useful way of communicating. However, the variety of word meanings can be especially confusing, and thereby potentially costly, in the industrial technology arena. Within the scope of the this second edition, the elder and younger Holloway have provided a thorough catalog of words, and their appropriate definitions, to assist students, as well as professionals, in their performance in this constantly changing environment.

My relationship with Mike for 56 years has been outstanding and based upon communication and understanding. The main factors in personal and business success and growth are one’s ability to communicate effectively, understand subject matter, and understand how words are used. A good dictionary to reference, especially in business, is critical to these factors. This work satisfies those needs in a brilliant fashion. Collaboration is important, the fact that a parent and child can contribute in unison is unique and honorable.
