THE trade of the machinist is peculiar in that it is a preparation for
so many positions outside of it.
It takes a man of good natural ability and of considerable
education—not always from books—to make a first-class machinist; so
that when one is well qualified he is also prepared for many other
openings.
The aim of this work is to point the way of advancement to those who
become fitted to assume these responsibilities and rewards.
The advanced machinist is a work of sterling merit, a few of the
hundreds of subjects are here named, but they in no way show the scope
of this work, which must be seen to be appreciated:
A Course in Machine Shop Mathematics; Various Measuring Instruments
and Their Uses; Screw Cutting; Boring; Milling; Drilling; Grinding;
Punching and Shearing; Bolt Cutting Machinery; Special and Auxiliary
Machines; Shop Management: Work Shop Receipts and Devices, etc., etc.
The personal character of the book appeals to all in any way
associated in the machinery and allied trades.
