Synopsis
Excerpt from Machine Design
One can never become a machine designer by studying books. Much help may come from books, but the true designer must have judgment, ripened by experience, in. Constructing and operating machines. One may know the laws that govern the development, transmission and application of energy; may have knowledge of constructive materials; may know how to obtain results by mathematical processes, and yet be unable to design a good machine. There is also needed a knowledge of many things connected with manufacture, transportation, erection and operation. With this knowledge it is possible to take results of computation and accept, reject and modify until a machine is produced that will do the required work satisfactorily.
Professor John E. Sweet once said, It is comparatively easy to design a good new machine, but it is very hard to design a machine that will be good when it is old. A machine must not only do its work at first, but must continue to do it with a minimum of repairs as long as the work needs to be done. The designer must be able to foresee the results of machine operation; he must have imagination. This is an inborn power, but it may be developed by use and by engineering experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
