⁂ Opinions of the Press.
"The author treats every subject from the point of view of one who has collected workshop notes for application in workshop practice, rather than from the theoretical or literary aspect. The volume contains a great deal of that kind of information which is gained only by practical experience, and is seldom written in books."—Engineer.
"The volume is an exceedingly useful one, brimful with engineers' notes, memoranda, and rules, and well worthy of being on every mechanical engineer's bookshelf."—Mechanical World.
"The information is precisely that likely to be required in practice.... The work forms a desirable addition to the library not only of the works' manager, but of anyone connected with general engineering."—Mining Journal.
"A formidable mass of facts and figures, readily accessible through an elaborate index.... Such a volume will be found absolutely necessary as a book of reference in all sorts of 'works' connected with the metal trades."—Ryland's Iron Trades Circular.
"Brimful of useful information, stated in a concise form, Mr. Hutton's books have met a pressing want among engineers. The book must prove extremely useful to every practical man possessing a copy."—Practical Engineer.

This work is designed as a companion to the Author's "Works' Manager's Hand-book." It possesses many new and original features, and contains, like its predecessor, a quantity of matter not originally intended for publication, but collected by the author for his own use in the construction of a great variety of Modern Engineering Work.
