Excerpt from Machine-Shop Tools and Methods The foregoing brief introduction, which was printed in the two preceding loose-leaf editions of this work, is reproduced here to indi cate the circumstances under which the work has been developed and its primary object. In its original form the book served its purpose well at the college mentioned above, and the enlarged edition is pre sented with the h0pe that it may be equally valuable in connection with the engineering departments of other schools. In the footnotes there are a few references to articles in such tech nical journals as are likely to be found in college libraries. It may be advantageous, in connection with a course of lectures, to require some of the students to read these or other similar articles and report their findings to the class for discussion. Such variations from a fixed method serve to keep up the interest of the student and at the same time tend to broaden his views. In institutions which have no regular course of lectures on shop-practice, the book may prove of value for reference in connection with machine-shop instruction.

Excerpt from Methods of Machine Shop Work: For Apprentices and Students in Technical, and Trade Schools While the printed page cannot take the place of personal experience, there is, nevertheless, a great fund of information regarding tools, methods and processes that can be acquired from the printed page more effectively than from any other source. Effective as the picking up process is as regards the things picked up, it passes by many which are equally important and it has, at best, no logical order or sequence, the information so gathered being unassorted, fragmentary and incomplete. Few machine shops make use of more than a small fraction of the methods which are herein explained and which the properly informed should know but the learning of which commonly requires half a lifetime. While many of the methods shown are the commonplaces of the experienced mechanic, they have not, heretofore, been gathered together in print, and still less have their underlying principles or their mutual relationships been explained for the use of beginners. It is to the explanation of these things that the printed page is best adapted and to which these pages are chiefly devoted. The volume comprises the substance of the lectures which the author has presented to the students in mechanical engineer ing at Columbia University for the past three years. It has been prepared in the belief, which is shared by friends who have been consulted, that it would prove useful elsewhere, in trade as well as engineering schools and to apprentices.

This work was originally published as four separate books; their titles, and reviewers' comments, are given below: History of the Gear-Cutting Machine: A Historical Study in Geometry and Machines "The book represents an overwhelmingly well-done job of reducing a great mass of material—scholarly references, patents, catalogs, engineering and trade journals, and machines themselves—into a logical story of development. Written with zest and relish, this vivid account presents a wealth of unusual information. The illustrations are particularly good, for many of them come from previously untapped sources." —Technology and Culture History of the Grinding Machine: A Historical Study in Tools and Precision Production "From the polished artifacts of prehistoric times Mr. Woodbury traces the development of methods, abrasives, and the machine tools which interdependently contributed to the advanced grinding techniques used today. Many fine illustrations." —The Tool Engineer History of the Milling Machine: A Study in Technical Development "Mr. Woodbury traces the evolution of milling machines from Eli Whitney's machine (circa 1820), the first miller ever built, to numerical controlled milling machines.... presented cleanly with ample detail. Fine illustration and complete bibliography are provided." —The Tool Engineer History of the Lathe to 1850: A Study in the Growth of a Technical Element of an Industrial Economy "Woodbury, who teaches the history of technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is at work on a history of machine design which promises to alter our perspectives not only in his special field but in general cultural history.... His present history of the lathe (to about 1850) absorbs the entire previous literature and goes far beyond it." —Lynn White, Jr.

Excerpt from Machine Blacksmithing It is not necessary that a system for the blacksmith shop be of the kind usually known as red tape, which often takes more time to handle than the time it saves; but a simple method of keeping track of work, tools, and material will save time and expense. To begin with, the blacksmith shop ought to be large enough to pro vide a place for everything in the shape of tools and equipment, and permit everything to be in its place. Forges should be numbered with figures of size and color which can be easily seen from any part of the shop. The forges should be referred to by their numbers, instead of so-and-so's forge. This would insure work being taken to the place for which it was intended. With each forge there ought to be a tool bench of such size and design as would accommodate one full set of blacksmith's tools of the kind used at the anvil. Each tool should be marked with its size and the number of the forge to which it belongs, so that each blacksmith will know the tools which form part of the set he is supposed to use, even if they should in any way get mixed up with others. To insure keeping a full set at each forge, it would be well to give each man a list of the tools belonging to the forge at which he is expected to work, with the understanding that he will be held responsi ble for all tools not worn out or accidentally broken. If any tool is worn out or broken it should be reported to the man in charge, so that it could be replaced as soon as possible. Having a full equipment at each forge would be a decided advantage to a new man starting in to work, because, as anyone who has ever been employed in a black smith shop knows, as soon as a blacksmith leaves the shop in which he has been working, he is no sooner gone than there is a raid upon the tools he used, and it usually takes but a short time to have them exchanged for the poorest tools in the shop, or, perhaps, just removed without any attempt at replacing. When a new man comes along, he is heavily handicapped, having the worst tools in the place with which to work, and it sometimes takes weeks before he has a chance of show ing what he can do.

American Machinists Handbook, And Dictionary of Shop Terms is the work of author Fred H. Colvin and Frank A. Stanley, co-editors of the publication American Machinist. This book is intended to be the ultimate reference book for machinists and shop workers. Colvin and Stanley set out to create a reference book that could sit in the shops of machine workers and be referred to whenever a question or challenge arose. As such, the scope of this work is immense. The book is divided into sections, each of which focuses on a specific topic. Examples of sections include screw threads, pipe and pipe threads, work benches, soldering, milling and milling cutters, punch press tools, tapers and dovetails, shop and drawing room tools, steel and other metals, and several more. Each section goes into a great level of depth on the subject, and plenty of illustrations and tables are presented alongside the text to better assist the reader. The book concludes with a short dictionary of shop terms, as well as a detailed index. The authors are clearly experts in their field, and have created a reference manual that can be of great assistance to other experts as well as those new to machine and shop work. The information is presented in an easy to digest style, and while the scope of the book is significant, attention to deal has not been ignored. Each entry has seemingly been prepared with care, and the passion of the authors for the craft is allowed to shine through. While written over one hundred years ago, much of the information provided is as useful today as the day it was written. American Machinists Handbook, And Dictionary of Shop Terms remains an extremely valuable text for shop workers. Few reference guides are as thorough or prepared with as much care, and thus this book is highly recommended to all craftsmen interested in the subject matter.

Excerpt from Success in the Small Shop In number the smaller are perhaps in the ratio Of 9 to I to the 1arger;1 in variety of work they cover all kinds Of metal working and machinery building from the highest type of manufacturing to the simplest job Of repairing;1 equipment they have everything from the most highly developed, up-to-date machine tools with a full complement Of cutting tools and attachments, to Old lathes, ancient drilling machines, and a few handfuls Of almost worn out small tools; in their management there are as wide differences as can be imagined; and financially they range from heartbreaking failures to successes that bring riches. These facts were impressed so strongly by the Cleveland data, that a careful study was at once made Of the place occupied by the small shop in the American machine-building industry, and the determination reached to procure and pub lish a series Of articles devoted particularly to its importance, problems and needs. It was intended that the series should comprehend a large number of subjects, such as economic conditions, financing, accounting, management, machine equip ment, small-tool equipment, selection of work, helpful devices, kinks and methods, and the like. The wish was to make the series Of practical use to the many men who were battling with the problems and difficulties of a small shop. The first article was published in the first issue Of January, 1915, and during the year fifty were presented in all. As a natural result, there were numerous comments and discussions about them Offered by readers. These found their regular place in the then current issues Of the American Machinist. These fifty articles and a part Of the discussions and comments they called forth have now been knit together into book form under the title, Success in the Small Shop. The purpose is to make the material Of further service in this permanent form, with the belief that the information will be helpful, not only to the man who actually owns or manages or works in a small machine shop, but also to men in larger shops where departments are so organized that to all intents and purposes each is a small shop by itself.

Excerpt from Shop Arithmetic for the Machinist: A Treatise Dealing With Common Machine Shop and Tool-Room Problems and Arithmetical Processes, With Numerous Examples Illustrating Their Practical Application and Methods of Solution This treatise is intended for the men in machine shops and tool rooms whose training has been chiefly along practical lines, and also for students of mechanical subjects desiring a book featuring the problems commonly encountered in shop work. All subjects have been treated as simply as possible and many examples are used to Show exactly how different arithmetical processes are ap plied to practical Shop problems. The advantages and use of formulas are explained and most of the formulas are written out or expressed in words to Show the beginner in mathematical studies, just what each formula actually means. In fact, a special effort has been made to explain all methods in plain, Simple language. Many text-books deal with principles rather than with specific examples, but the shop man not used to solving problems, often finds it difficult to apply these principles. The purpose of this treatise, therefore, is to present the most common machine Shop and toolroom problems and Show clearly, by carefully selected ex amples, how the principles are applied in each case. It is assumed that the student understands such elementary subjects as addi tion, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and fractions and that he is familiar with the use of common mathematical signs for indicating the different operations referred to. If the student is not entirely familiar with the elementary arithmetical processes mentioned, it is advisable for him to study a text-book on arithmetic before attempting the solution Of thc problems giy en in this treatise.
