Abstract
(1) THE present volume forms one of the excellent series of which Messrs. Hoepli have now published some 600, dealing with the arts and sciences. This work is intended chiefly for foremen and for students of technical and industrial schools who are about to start their works career. Brief descriptions are given of the various small tools and appliances met with in a modern shop, with particulars of the operations for which they are intended. The text and illustrations are suggestive rather than fully explanatory, though a series of exercises accompanies each chapter, thus permitting the student to follow what he reads. Simple mathematics are introduced where necessary to elucidate any particular point. The heat treatment which metals necessarily undergo in the course of working is explained. The book concludes with an exposition of the different systems of screw-threads and of the uses of the various machinetools.
