Iron Clad Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Often refered to as the machinest Bible. The 1914 edition has sections on forging/blacksmithing including the anvil and it's set-up, dimensions for tongs, forge welding, steam hammer ratings, forging presses, air pressures and pipe sizes for forges, machinery and hammer foundations, etc. These sections are small but good useful information. These sections are no longer in the modern editions of the Machinery's Handbook. For those into antique machinery it has sections such as leather belt specifications for over head drive shaft systems, rope transmission, clutches and couplings, etc... A fun book for the machinest, blacksmith, or anyone into the history of American industry.
