Excerpt from Machinists'' and Draftsmen''s Handbook: Containing Tables Rules and Formulas With Numerous Examples Explaining the Principles of Mathematics and Mechanics as Applied to the Mechanical Trades; Intended as a Reference Book for All Interested in Mechanical Work<br><br>It is the author''s hope and desire that this book which is the outcome of years of study work and observation may be a help to the class of people to which he himself has the honor to belong - the Working mechanics of the world.<br><br>This is not intended solely as a reference book but it may also be studied advantageously by the ambitious young engineer and machinist; and therefore as far as believed practical within the scope of the work the fundamental principles upon which the rules and formulas rest are given and explained.<br><br>The use of abstruse theories and complicated formulas is avoided; as it is thought preferable to sacrifice scientific hair splitting and be satisfied with rules and formulas which will give intelligent-approximations within practical limits rather than to go into intricate and complicated formulas which can hardly be handled except by mathematical and mechanical experts.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
