This book contains assorted articles, two British, which appeared in Machinery Magazine just after WWI. The first is on the new Drummond lathes (not the round bed variety) and goes through the unique design features of these, together with the logic behind them. Following is a fascinating article, again British, on restoring lathes which had been worn out on war work, to factory accuracy. On its own, this article is worth the (modest) price of this booklet. Following this is a two part, very well illustrated, article on lathe bearings - the plain variety, not ball or roller and to finish there is a short article on the testing of lathe lead screws at the Pratt & Whitney factory. Well produced 47 page softcover. Lindsay Publications
