American machinists' handbook and dictionary of shop terms: a reference book of machine shop and drawing room data, methods and definitions ReviewThe Seventh Edition of this 4-inch x 7-inch x 2-inches-thick book of 1,366 pages was published in 1940 by the McGraw-Hill book company from the writings and collections of authors Fred H. Colvin and Frank A. Stanley.
This book was used by virtually all American Machinists in every WWII production industry. It provided all those fine folks with a common reference point on which most all bombs, jeeps, airplanes, locomotives, ships, boilers, guns, trucks, tanks, boats, motors and many more items were built.
The First Edition was published by the same authors in 1908. Thirty-two years later the two authors published the Seventh Edition. A 75-page Dictionary of Shop Terms preceeds the 37-page Index. The 14-page Table of Contents fully identifies the contents of each of the 27 Sections in the book.
I use the book every day in my cabinet making efforts and have not yet found any obsolete information. Those more knowledgeable about Section XXVI's railroad shop data ( all steam related ) may not be as lucky as I am with THIS STUNNING GEM OF A BOOK.
The world owes an incalculable debt to authors Fred Colvin and Frank Stanley for their exquisite amalgamation of soooooo much information into a book that fits in a (larger) pocket.
If one would ever have a chance to see or own one of the 25,000 published in the 1940 Seventh Edition, then I would calculate that one is very fortunate indeed !American machinists' handbook and dictionary of shop terms: a reference book of machine shop and drawing room data, methods and definitions Overview
