The Practice of Machine Design

By Yotaro Hatamura

When it is planned to create something new all the detailed knowledge that is related to its fabrication should be recorded. This is what designing is about. This book describes how design can be put into practice and what starting knowledge is needed. It also describes the thought and decision processes that a designer has to go through when making an object. The main examples taken are mechanical machines, but the principles apply equally in electrical, on civil, or other branches of engineering.
