Publisher's Synopsis
""A Practical Treatise On Mechanical Engineering"" is a comprehensive book written by Francis Campin and published in 1881. The book is a detailed guide to the principles and practices of mechanical engineering, covering a wide range of topics such as steam engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, and machine tools. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of mechanical engineering. The first section provides an overview of the principles of mechanics, including force, motion, and energy. The second section covers the design and construction of steam engines, including the different types of engines and their components. The third section focuses on hydraulics and pneumatics, covering the principles of fluid mechanics and the design of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The fourth section covers the design and operation of machine tools, including lathes, milling machines, and planers. Throughout the book, Campin provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts and techniques he describes. He also includes practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the application of these principles in real-world situations. Overall, ""A Practical Treatise On Mechanical Engineering"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the field of mechanical engineering, providing a comprehensive and detailed guide to the principles and practices of this important discipline.Comprising Metallurgy, Molding, Casting, Forging, Tools, Workshop Machinery, Mechanical Manipulation, Manufacture Of The Steam Engine, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
