Machine Shop Tools and Shop Practice: A Book of Practical Instruction Describing in Every Detail the Construction, Operation and Manipulation of Both Hand and Machine Tools (Classic Reprint)

This book is the outgrowth of a series of articles prepared by the author for the students in machine shop practice at the University of I llinois; some of these articles having recently been published in Machinery. An effort has been made to treat the subject in a clear and comprehensive manner, carefully avoiding all unnecessary matter and presenting to the apprentice and mechanic many points pertaining to the tools with which they come in daily contact, and about which they are often unable to obtain all the information necessary, in order that they may use these tools correctly and efficiently. In treating on the various classes of small and machine tools, the author has endeavored to bring out much pertaining to the construction and care of these tools, as well as upon their uses. The importance of the machinist having at least a limited amount of information on the subjects ofF astenings, Gearing, and Belting and Transmission Machinery has prompted the addition of chapters upon these subjects. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the publishers, the Industrial Press, and the tool manufacturers, who have so kindly assisted him in getting together many of the illustrations and tables used in this work. March, 1903. W. H. VAN DERVOORT.
