Synopsis

This work presents a systematic view of precision engineering. The set of knowledge and principles necessary to design, build and test precision machinery has previously been scattered amongst many individuals and publications. By bringing together information on the subject in a systematic way, the author has assisted in the task of teaching new generations of students about precision engineering. It is a subject of fundamental importance to the manufacturing processes which supply the components for the electronic and optical revolutions of today's industrialized countries. The book is written in plain language, with use of copious illustrations and examples rather than complicated mathematics in order to ensure that the principles of this important branch of engineering can be absorbed by as wide an audience of students and practising engineers as possible. The book should be of interest to graduate or final-year undergraduate students in mechanical engineering, practising engineers in industry to update their knowledge, as well as research workers needing to build or design precision machinery.
