Professional engineers nearly always have a little book in which they jot down those formulae or calculations, or just facts and figures, which they know they are likely to need on future occasions. Over a period of years the contents of such books grew to cover a wealth of practical and useful items and the time saved to refer to other sources can be considerable. As a professional engineer, Tubal Cain filled three such books, and as a lifelong model engineer he is in a unique position to extract all the material most useful to an amateur. This compilation of essential calculations, tables, facts and procedures provides a mine of information to which the hobbyist will return time and time again. Metric conversion factors, workshop calculations, tapers and angles, standard screw threads, workshop practice, metal joining, properties, weights and gauges of materials, steam and the steam engine, air and gases, ring seals, electrical data, gearcutting and lots more are included.
