Overview

Excerpt from Metal-Plate Work, Vol. 3: Its Patterns and Their Geometry, Also Notes on Metals This Second Edition, long delayed through pressure of work, is the First Edition augmented by about 70 more pages of original matter, making the book still more useful to the sheet-metal worker who desires to know his trade, and become an all-round hand, instead of being cramped up in a narrow everyday groove. The specialisation in the shops brought Technical Education about the increasing tendency to it marks the need of a wide basis for such education. The divisions of tin-plate, iron-plate, and zinc workers did not formerly exist; they do not exist now among the older workmen, and should not among the younger. The shapes treated in this volume come before all sheet-metal workers; the main differences of their work are not those Of shape, but of size and consequent manipulation. Blinn's Workshop Companion for Tin, Sheet Iron, and Copper Plate Workers, ' is a book published in America and circulating here. More than one-quarter of that portion which deals with patterns in its 1891 edition is neither more nor less than a word for word appropriation, without acknowledgment, of original problems, diagrams and all, from my pages. The Preface to the book can well afford to make much of the addition of new matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
