Arbors and Work Holding Devices: A Treatise on the Appliances Used for Holding Work for Turning, Boring and Grinding, Machinery's Reference Book No. 120, by the editors of Machinery magazine, The Industrial Press, New York, NY, 1914. Reprinted by Nation Builder Books, Leesburg, VA, 2000. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 softcover, 48 pages. This is a new reproduction of a 1914 original. In the early 1900s, when highly skilled machinists enjoyed the same status and prestige as computer programmers do today, Machinery magazine was essential reading for any industrial executive. Industrial Press, the publisher, approached the most erudite master machinists they could find to write a series of booklets on various specific aspects of machining and manufacturing operations. These booklets were jam-packed with the practical knowledge, hard-earned know-how, and "shop kinks" learned over the lifetime of the foremost machinists in the world. In 1914, these booklets were consolidated into the first edition of Machinery's Handbook, which has remained the world's premier handbook for the metalworking trades for nearly a century. A first edition of Machinery's Handbook sold on Ebay in May 2002 for over $200. Until now, many of the booklets that were published as part of the series that was the origin Machinery's Handbook were almost as rare. Here is just one example of these fine, previously rare booklets. The contents include: Holding Devices for First-operation Work, by Albert A. Dowd Important Points in Design of Chucking Devices Two-jaw Chuck arranged for Internal Chucking Ring Pot Locating Fixture without Chuck-jaws Locating Fixture for a Ball-and-socket Pipe Joint Chucking Device having an Outboard Supplementary Bearing Method of Chucking One-half of a Rear-axle Housing Equalizing Pin Chuck for a Gas Engine Piston Equalizing Pin Chuck for an Electric Generator Frame A Combination Device having Equalizing Pins and Hook-bolts A Set of Special Jaws for a Large Crowned Pulley A Chucking Device for a Difficult Piece of Electrical Work Boring Mill Fixtures for a Large Ball Joint Arbors for Second-operation Work, by Albert A.
