Abstract
TEACHERS of classes dealing with machine construction and drawing are frequently put to a great deal of trouble in seeking for modern examples to put before their students. Text-books on the subject go out-of-date, and on account of the great strides which have been made in recent years in the manufacture of engineering materials, and in their treatment in the machine shop, and consequently in design, details have shown an increasing tendency to become obsolete. The volume before us contains a large number of; designs suitable for students, and all of these examples are up-to-date. The authors make use of the American system of projection, and there is sufficient practical geometry included for the purposes of the draughtsman.
