Publisher's Synopsis
""Machine Shop Arithmetic"" by Fred Herbert Colvin, published in 1917, is a comprehensive guide to the mathematical calculations involved in the operation of a machine shop. The book covers a wide range of topics, including basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, as well as practical applications of these concepts in the context of machining and manufacturing.The author explains each topic in a clear and concise manner, with numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. The book also includes a variety of exercises and practice problems, with answers provided at the end of each chapter.In addition to covering the technical aspects of machine shop arithmetic, Colvin also emphasizes the importance of accuracy and attention to detail in the machining process. He explains how errors in calculations or measurements can lead to costly mistakes or even safety hazards, and provides tips and strategies for minimizing the risk of such errors.Overall, ""Machine Shop Arithmetic"" is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the operation of a machine shop or interested in learning more about the mathematical principles underlying machining and manufacturing processes.Includes Change Gears For Cutting Any Threads; Drills, Taps, Shink And Force Fits; Metric System Of Measurements And Threads; Used By All Classes Of Mechanics, Apprentices, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
