Book excerpt: Excerpt from Machine Shop Practice: A Manual for Apprentices and Journeyman Machinists, and for Use in Trade, Industrial and Technical Schools In preparing this text the author has endeavored to present the fundamentals of Machine Shop Practice rather than to produce a complete or advanced treatise. Above all, he has desired to lead the pupil in the shop to think and not merely to do. For this reason, the why of each step or operation is emphasized quite as much as the how. If the apprentice or the trade student can once be imbued with an attitude of thoughtfulness and investigation in connection with his work, his future progress toward skill and efficiency may be regarded as assured. The material is drawn mainly from mimeographed notes which were tried out for over twelve years in the shops of the School of Science and Technology, Pratt Institute. With the desire, however, to meet more closely the needs of the increasing number of secondary technical and industrial schools offering machine shop instruction, the original text in which these notes were published has been carefully revised by Mr. J. A. Chamberlain, Supervisor of Manual Training in the schools of Washington, D. C. It is believed that the value of the book as a practical manual for apprentices and journeyman machinists has in no respect been lessened in this revision, while at the same time the order of treatment and the time demanded for the completion of the work laid down have been brought to a closer agreement with the conditions under which machine work is taught in the secondary school shop.
