Applied Science for Metal-Workers

By William H. Dooley

Every craftsman/woman should not only be trained in the handicraft of their trade, but, if they are to be a really skilled worker, should also master the scientific principles involved. That is, they should become familiar with the reasons underlying the various operations that they perform. This text aims at providing just that, and, as such, this is a text that will be of much use to readers of a vast range of trades and professions, but particularly to metalworkers. The chapters of this book include: 'Science and the Properties of Matter', 'Weights and Measures', 'Mechanical Principles of Machines', 'Leverage', 'Laws of Motion', 'Mechanics of Liquids', 'Properties of Gases', 'Heat and Expansion', 'Principles of Chemistry', 'Physico-Chemical Processes', 'The Chemistry of Common Industrial Substances', etcetera. This text was originally published in 1919, and is proudly republished now complete with a new introduction on metalworking.
