While researching how errors by calculations with slide-rules were handled I found a book from 1937:
"Physikalisches Praktikum -
Eine Sammlung von Übungsaufgaben für die physikalismen Übungen an Universitäten und Hochschulen" by W. H. WestphaI, TH Berlin.
It's a pearl that has all but disappeared from the curriculum of teachers of physics. The only citation I found was from Japan. Sometimes understanding German is an asset.
