Originally published in 1913, this book is "fresh from the anvil, the author taking notes during the day while at work, compiling the same into articles at night." It contains rules, tables, recipes, etc., useful to manufacturers, blacksmiths, machinists, well-drillers, engineers, liverymen, horse-shoers, farmers, wagon-makers, mechanics, amateurs and all others who have occasion to perform the work for which this book is primarily intended. In particular, the book gives a lot of how-to instructions practical for the apprentice and journeyman.
