A comprehensive exposition of the structure of steels and the effects of different heat treatments, particularly in respect of tools. With accurate colour temperature charts.

Model engineers and amateur metalworkers need to learn the tricks and handwork which experienced engineers take for granted. This book details normal bench practice suitable for engineering apprentices which will save spoiled work and tools.

This book is a thorough and practical discourse on how to use the lathe for all types of milling work. Next to turning, the most valuable use of the lathe is for milling operations, either using the lathe itself to drive the cutters or by extending its scope by adding a separate milling attachment.

This book covers basic principles of foundrywork - materials and techniques, pattern-making, moulding boxes, cores and core boxes, metals, electric, gas, coke furnaces and step-by-step procedures. Although written primarily for the model engineer, anyone wishing to make mouldings or castings will profit from its pages.

This book describes the many and varied materials used by model engineers in their workshops such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hard and soft woods, plastics, abrasives, adhesives, bearing materials, ceramic and refractory materials, castings, electroplating solutions, fuels, gases, lubricants, pickles, polishing materials, sealants and solder
