Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Mechanics for Amateurs A work of this character possesses equal merit with one entirely completed before the death of the author. As a rule such works have not had the ad vantage of the final perusal and correction by the author. Such has not, however, been the case in the present. Instance, for the following work by the late George M. Hopkins, was completed before his death. Tl ere is no doubt, however, that this volume will come as a surprise to thousands who have closely followed Mr. Hopkins' work, and who have enjoyed making the many experiments described by him. The present volume contains much matter which has never before appeared in print, and some articles which have al ready been published in the Scientific American. The object of the work is to furnish food for thought to the amateur, and to give him suggestions whereby he may pass many pleasant hours in his work-shop. Mr. Hop kins was an expert mechanic. One of his chief pleas ures was to make experiments at'his home in his well equipped work-shop and laboratory, and the work described in the present volume is nearly all the result of experiments made by him during such idle hours. It has been the intent of the author to make the present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I might qualify the above statement by saying that if you are an amateur it will pay you to scan the following pages before you try to do mechanical things. The idea I have tried to carry out is to parallel the case of the locomotive engineer. You know, of course, that he did not build the engine he drives but he knows every part of it, exactly how it works, how to run it to get the most power, or speed, or both, out of it with the highest fuel economy and, further, if he should have a breakdown on the road he knows just how to make whatever repairs are needed to go on with his run.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amateur Mechanic's Workshop: A Treatise Containing Plain and Concise Directions for the Manipulation of Wood and Metals, Including Casting, Forging, Brazing, Soldering, and Carpentry The following pages are intended to supply a want long felt by amateur mechanics of a handy book on the various operations of the workshop. The only work of the kind which includes manipulation in wood and metal is that by Holtzapﬂ'el, in three expensive volumes, a work of immeasurable value, to which not only the writer of the present treatise, but all who have of late years attempted similar productions, are infinitely indebted The scope, however, of the above is almost of necessity too extensive, as the whole is too costly for the purposes of the general amateur. It was, indeed, designed as an introduction to a comprehensive work on the lathe, and though in a manner complete in itself, it is yet evidently arranged with that ultimate object in view. Hence there appears to be still mom for some such concise treatise as is now offered to the amateur; and it is hoped that the following Hints (for it pretends to little more) may, audios to render more easy those.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanic Grade, or exalt, a great change would begin to be wrought, and this, undoubtedly, would lead to a clearer perception of the spirit, and a carrying out of the principle, which was in the mind of Jesus. Is the diamond less a diamond because accident has cast it among ﬂint, or pebble stones? Is it more a diamond, if set in the finest gold? Is not the gem one? Are not its beauty, and its value one, wherever, or however, it may be set? When these doctrines are generally preached, and embodied in prae tice, every man will begin to feel himself, and TO BE - A man and feeling, and being this, however high, or however low he may be in a worldly point of View, he will regard his fellow men as equals, and brethren, all walking. In dif ferent paths, it may be - all pursuing different avocations yet each bearing on his brow the visible Signet of Jehovah, which confirms the nobility or A godlike nature - each invest ed with a mission to his race, for the faithful discharge of which he is accountable to all future generations. When this spirit comes to be diffused, the rich man will cease to be arrogant, and the poor man will forget to be servile for will not each feel himself equally a man and where upon the face of the wide earth could be found a higher dignity F.

His reason was that he did not write for popular approval, but to present the truth, as he was able to discover it. He believed that the publication of the truth would hurt no man, but not courting public controversy, he concluded to pass his days in peace and let the future take issue with his deductions, if it would.

A knowl edge of how to use carpenter's tools properly and how to make simple articles from lumber will never come amiss, and there is scarcely a man, woman or boy who at one time or another has not had occasion to use some sort of carpenter's tool. It may seem a very simple matter to use a saw, hammer, screw-driver or other similar tool, but nine times out of ten the amateur does not use such tools properly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanic Arts, Vol. 1 When Benjamin Franklin was old enough to choose a vocation his father took him around to see all the trades then found in Boston; with the result that the boy decided to be a printer. The world, however, is too large, and industry too complicated, to permit the father to do that to-day. At the meeting of the National Educa tion Association in Boston in July, 1910, President Eliot said that the Life Career Motive, whether in school, or college, or life, is the motive under which we all do our best work. To bring the vocations home to the boys and girls, and help them to find this life career motive early, is the aim of these books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spons' Mechanics' Own Book: A Manuel for Handicraftsmen and Amateurs The title of this work almost suffices to indicate the character of the con tents, without the aid of any prefatory explanation. The authors have no new theories to advance, nor discoveries to relate: their aim has been rather to discuss from an everyday practical view the various mechanical trades that deal with the conversion of wood, metals, and stone into useful objects. The method of treatment of each branch is scientific, yet simple. First in order comes the raw material worked upon, its characters, variations, and suitability. Then the tools used in working up the material are examined as to the principles on which their shape and manipulation are based, including the means adopted for keeping them in order, by grinding, tempering, filing, setting, handling, and cleaning. A third section, where necessary, is devoted to explaining and illustrating typical examples of the work to be executed in the particular material under notice. Thus the book forms a complete guide to all the ordinary mechanical operations; and whilst professional workmen will find in it many suggestions as to the direction in which improvements should be aimed at, amateur readers will be glad to avail themselves of the simple directions and ingenious devices by which they can in a great degree overcome the disadvantage of a lack of manipulative skill. To render the book still more useful to the emigrant and colonist, who often has only his own wits to depend on in building and repairing his home, several further chapters have been added, dealing with the enclosure, approaches, water supply, drainage, warming, lighting, and ventilation of a dwelling.
