Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Specimens in Eccentric Circular Turning: With Practical Instructions for Producing Corresponding Pieces in That Art
Turner, having been contrived and con structed by myself many years ago, from the raw materials of brass and steel, with my own hands; and I present it as an instrument to which I have never given publicity, excepting having shewn it and explained it to two or three friends. Had I not proved able to make it myself, my plan of its construction would never have been realized; and I, certainly, should not have had the means of producing the Compound Eccentric work which is exhibited in this Edition.
