This book was originally published in 1925 and contains basic operating instructions for machines of the period and schedules for various machining operations. Well illustrated! For hobbyists, the older books are good references. We don't have those fancy NC machines (yet!) so the older techniques will work for us. Examples in the text include making nuts, screws and gages as well as how to run older lathes, mills, grinders, shapers, etc.
