Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An original reflection on Italy?s postwar boom considers potentials for resistance in today?s neoliberal (dis)order What can 1960s Italian cinema teach us about how to live and work today? Clocking Out challenges readers to think about labor, cinema, and machines as they are intertwined in complex ways in Italian cinema of the early ?60s. Drawing on critical theory and archival research, this book asks what kinds of fractures we might exploit for living otherwise, for resisting traditional narratives, and for anticapitalism. Italy in the 1960s was a place where the mass-producing factory was the primary mode of understanding what it meant to work, but it was also a time when things might have gone another way. This thinking and living differently appears in the cracks, lapses, or moments of film. Clocking Out is organized into scenes from an obscure 1962 Italian comedy (Renzo e Luciana, from Boccaccio 70). Reconsidering the origins of paradigms such as clocking in and out, ?society is a factory,? and the gendered division of labor, Karen Pinkus challenges readers to think through cinema, enabling us to see gaps and breakdowns in the postwar order. She focuses on the Olivetti typewriter company and a little-known film from an Italian anthology movie, thinking with cinema about the power of the Autonomia movement, the refusal to work, and the questions of wages, paternalism, and sexual difference. Alternating microscopic attention to details and zooming outward, Pinkus examines rituals of production, automation, repetition, and fractures in a narrative of labor that begins in the 1960s and extends to the present-the age of the precariat, right-wing resentment, and nostalgia for an order that was probably never was.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Ninety percent of all machine failures are signaled months, even years, in advance by changes in machine vibrations. Some future failures are even predictable upon initial start-up. By understanding a machine's vibration signature, you can diagnose, solve, and prevent problems, as well as reduce the cost of maintenance. Machinery Vibration: Measurement and Analysis will show you how to use state-of-the-art instrumentation, tranducers and fast Fourier transform (FT) spectrum analyzers-to monito machine conditions using the vibration signature. This expert sourcebook includes: Case histories that illustrate strategies for solving machinery problems-from unblanaces and misalignments to vortex flow and turbulence. A diagnostic chart for assessing the severity of vibration. An overview of technology used in 'trending' machine performance. Guidelines for setting up a vibration monitoring system. Many illustrations throughout the book. Whether you're a plant or mechanical engineer, maintenance engineer, facility manager, mechanic, or technician, this excellent book will enable you to troubleshoot mechanical problems and improve machinery performance.…
