A compact reference for engineers and machinists, this pocket guide delivers practical rules, tables, and techniques you can use at the bench or in the shop.
First published in the 1840s, this edition gathers concise treatises on mechanical forces, gravity, machinery, and the strength of materials. It offers practical geometry, arithmetic, mensuration, and rules for calculating the working effects of machines, plus tables that span cast iron beams, metals, and other construction data. The guide also covers steam power, the properties of water and air, friction, boilers, and the basics of continuous circular motion.
Inside you’ll find step-by-step methods, reference tables, and example problems aimed at helping you design, build, or assess mechanical systems with confidence. The content is organized to support quick lookup and practical application, from beam dimensions to steam expansion and pump performance.
Ideal for readers of historical engineering references, students with an eye for practical fundamentals, and professionals who prefer a portable, results-focused handbook.
