Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Machine Drawing and Design for Beginners: An Introductory Work for the Use of Technical Students
It is not usual for writers to refer to such minor details as machine and lever handles, so that young draughtsmen are often left to their own resources to guide them in such matters, therefore a chapter (xiii.) dealing with them has been included. In recent years much attention has been given to roller and ball bearings, particularly in motor-car work: so the construction of these, and the principles which govern their design, are explained in Chapter XVIII. In Chapter XIX. The recent and important improvements in spur gearing are described, and although the greatly improved helical gears have made mortise wheels practically obsolete, the consideration that we shall for some years to come still be using some of the old plants led the Author to include mortise wheels in this chapter. In Chapter XXVI. Will be found over one hundred questions relating to the subject, suitable for examinations or for home work purposes.
