Excerpt from Aircraft Mechanics HandbookThousands of mechanics of various kinds are going to be needed to inspect, adjust and repair the large air ﬂeet which is now being prepared in this country and as this is a new industry it has been deemed advisable to compile such facts regarding air craft as may help to make these available in the shortest time. Except for a considerable amount of actual personal observation in both factory and ﬂying field, no originality is claimed for this handbook; instead, it represents what is believed to be the best practice known at this time and contains many suggestions which cannot fail to be of value to any aircraft mechanic.It is in the hope of aiding work of this kind, in helping to make our aircraft more efficient, that the work has been undertaken.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The engine lathe is still the most widely used machine tool in the average machine shop. For although it has been replaced by the hand-and-power-feed turret lathes, the automatic screw machine, and various special machine tools, these are only profitable where duplicate parts are to be made, not necessarily in mass production.The average shop, especially the repair or job shop, still depends largely on the engine lathe owing to the great variety of work that can be done on it. For this means a knowledge of the engine lathe and how it is used is the best foundation for those who want to become familiar with the machinist trade.And understanding of the workings of the engine lathe, its cutting tools, the turning of tapers, the cutting of screw threads, and testing of the lathe for accuracy will make the operation of any other machine tool comparatively easy.

Excerpt from United States Rifles and Machine Guns: A Detailed Account of the Methods Used in Manufacturing Turing the Springfield, 1903 Model Service Rifle; Also Descriptions of the Modified Enfield Rifle and Three Types of Machine Guns The accompanying description of the methods used at the Spring field Armory in manufacturing the Springfield, 1903 Model Service Rifle was undertaken at the request of the Ordnance Bureau of the United States Army for the purpose of assisting manufacturers in undertaking large contracts for this arm should necessity arise. The immmiate necessity arrived before this plan could be carried out, but as the Springfield still remains the standard arm of the United States Army, the work remains of value for the future. The methods shown are those in use during the fall of 1916, some of these being since modified in accordance with manufacturing require ments. It is believed that this is the first instance of such an amount of detailed information being gathered into such a small compass where it is so readily available for use. The perspective drawings of oper ations are all from photographs, over 1000 being taken for this purpose. Credit for the plan of securing the material in this form belongs to John H. Van Deventer, Editor of the American Machinist, and we also desire to thank Col. W. S. Peirce, Maj. G. H. Stewart, Capt. R. R. Nix, T. H. Fletcher and Harry R. Johnson for valuable assistance in securing the material here presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
