Publisher's Synopsis
Machine Design: Hoists, Derricks, Cranes (1912) is a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of various types of lifting equipment, including hoists, derricks, and cranes. Written by Howard Drysdale Hess, an experienced mechanical engineer and designer, this book provides detailed information on the principles of machine design and the engineering calculations necessary for the construction of safe and efficient lifting equipment. The book covers a wide range of topics related to machine design, including the mechanical properties of materials, the principles of stress and strain, and the design of gears, bearings, and other mechanical components. It also includes detailed descriptions of various types of hoists, derricks, and cranes, including their construction, operation, and maintenance. In addition to the technical aspects of machine design, the book also covers the practical considerations of lifting operations, such as safety regulations and the selection of appropriate equipment for specific tasks. It includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the concepts presented. Overall, Machine Design: Hoists, Derricks, Cranes (1912) is an invaluable resource for mechanical engineers, designers, and anyone involved in the design, construction, or operation of lifting equipment. Its comprehensive coverage of the subject matter and practical approach make it a timeless reference for anyone interested in the field of machine design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
