Description

Paperback cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.
This 1973 technical handbook offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of mid-20th century metalworking and manufacturing. Published during a period of rapid industrial growth and innovation, this utilitarian reference manual was likely a well-thumbed resource for machinists, engineers, and metalworkers tasked with shaping cold-finished steel bars into precision components. While the anonymous authorship obscures the individual voices behind its creation, the book itself stands as a testament to the skilled tradesmen and women who helped drive America’s manufacturing prowess in the post-war era. For collectors of industrial ephemera or those with an interest in the history of manufacturing and engineering, this modestly worn but soundly constructed volume offers a tangible connection to an important era in the nation’s industrial heritage.
