Tricks & secrets of old-timer machinists - vol 1 - book
Reprinted From The America Machinist Magazine 1916
In the early days of American Machinist Magazine, readers were constantly asking questions one minute, and offering clever solutions to problems the next. The 1916 issues were particularly rich with the tricks and secrets that experienced old time machinists had devised and had submitted for publication.
Like all book, some of the information included may not be applicable to you but other portions maybe priceless!
