Synopsis

This book traces the development of machine tools from the 16th century through to the early 20th century. The lathe is given particular attention, as its development underpins that of other machine tools. The author details the origins of the lathe, taking it back as far as the ancient Egyptians, then presents the incremental developments that led to the modern lathe. This book not only catalogs these developments but provides a wealth of illustrations and references, making it an invaluable resource for engineers and historians of engineering.
