Excerpt from Machine-Shop Tools and Methods
The foregoing brief introduction, which was printed in the two preceding loose-leaf editions of this work, is reproduced here to indi cate the circumstances under which the work has been developed and its primary object. In its original form the book served its purpose well at the college mentioned above, and the enlarged edition is pre sented with the h0pe that it may be equally valuable in connection with the engineering departments of other schools.
In the footnotes there are a few references to articles in such tech nical journals as are likely to be found in college libraries. It may be advantageous, in connection with a course of lectures, to require some of the students to read these or other similar articles and report their findings to the class for discussion. Such variations from a fixed method serve to keep up the interest of the student and at the same time tend to broaden his views. In institutions which have no regular course of lectures on shop-practice, the book may prove of value for reference in connection with machine-shop instruction.
