Condition overall Good. First Edition. 1951. The cover boards are in fair (F) condition, with noticeable wear and a crease. Binding and spine remains good and tight, no loose pages. The pages are clean and free of any markings. As expected in a 1951 publication, the book shows moderate age related wear. A classic mid century industrial text on principles, equipment, and practice of grinding operations in manufacturing and metalworking. Published in 1951, the volume presents a thorough survey of contemporary grinding methods, with coverage of abrasive wheel selection, grinding machinery, precision finishing, production techniques, safety considerations, and practical shop applications. Intended for machinists, toolmakers, engineers, vocational students, and manufacturing professionals, the work offers a valuable view of postwar industrial practice and remains an informative historical reference for collectors and readers with an interest in machining and metalworking history.
