This volume contains a vintage guide to machine design and workshop
practise, with this edition focusing on screw thread tools and gauges. A
gauge or gage is a scientific or engineering device that is used to
measure or to display certain dimensional information. A wide range of
such tools exist which serve this function, ranging from simple pieces
of material against which sizes can be measured to large and complex
pieces of machinery. With helpful diagrams, useful measurement tables,
and simple explanations, this volume would make for fantastic reference
guide for engineers and handy addition to collections of allied
literature. Contents include: "Screw Thread Systems, by Erik Oberg",
"Making Thread Tools, by E. A. Johnson", "Tools for Accurate Thread
Cutting, by Jos. M. Stabel", "Making Thread Gages, by. A. L. Monrad",
"Measuring Screw Thread Diameters, by Walter Cantelo", etc. Many vintage
books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with
this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and
artwork.
