About this title

Synopsis

If I had found this book 30 years ago when I was on the quest for all metalworking knowledge I would have been in love with it and be constantly referring folks to it. Hasluck attempted to describe every metalworking shop technique and tools, doing a very good job, for circa 1900. . . Publication was 1907, seven years before the first MACHINERY'S HANDBOOK in 1914. This was a time of great change technologically. Where many of the things described are timeless, many others are quite dated. Machines covered in detail by Hasluck, including construction drawings, had not yet matured to their most enduring form as they would in just a few short years. Tools common to us such as the Jacobs chuck and standard lathe tool post had not yet been invented. Metallurgy still thought that crystallization leading to failure occurred in use rather than during heat treatment.
