Excerpt from Turning Lathes: A Manual for Technical Schools and Apprentices, a Guide
"Amateurs and technical students will find this book of great advantage to them, as the aim of the author, whoever he may be, has been to explain very thoroughly the processes of the art of turning." - American Machinist.
"This is a work of 158 pages, very fully illustrated, and with clear, descriptive matter on branches of lathe-work which are usually followed by amateurs.

Wood and metal turning are both considered, and the description of hand turning is especially full." - Scientific American.
"We heartily commend the book to those interested in the subject. It will be found of special value to apprentices and others whose knowledge of lathe-work is limited." - The National Car Builder (American).

"The author does not presuppose any technical knowledge whatever in the reader, but begins by describing and naming the various parts and attachments of a lathe, so that a schoolboy can pick up the book and work his way through it without any difficulty. The illustrations are very numerous and well-exec…
