Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Machinery Foundations and Erection
Hence, starting with 1910, I have made a special effort to collect, from my own experience and from every other avail able source, information concerning machinery foundations. This book is the result. Throughout, every effort has been made to so treat the different topics that the information, Which is given, will be in such form that it can be used With minimum effort by the practical men - and those of limited mathematical attainments - Who have to design and build machinery foundations. Although in Div. 1 of the book there are given a number of fundamental formulas which determine the design of safe machinery foundations, it is also there explained that safe foundations can, in practically all cases, be proportioned by following Simple instructions and Without resorting to refined mathematical methods. Thus, in each of the different divisions, which treat of foundations for machines of certain types, plain-english rules are given.
