Synopsis

This book delves into the world of machine production, exploring two distinct systems: "making" and "manufacturing." The making system, with its roots in England, focuses on crafting individual pieces using standard tools like lathes and planers, where skilled artisans measure and adjust each part. The manufacturing system, pioneered in the United States, emphasizes mass production of interchangeable parts using specialized machines like milling machines and turret lathes, where precision gauges ensure uniformity. The author traces the historical development of these systems, highlighting the contributions of key figures like Whitworth and the Springfield Armory in advancing precision manufacturing. The book explores the philosophical and practical implications of each approach, examining the trade-offs between craftsmanship and efficiency, and the impact of standardized measurement on shop organization and quality control. This book's insights into the evolution of machine production methods offer valuable lessons for engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the intricate dance between human skill and technological innovation in shaping the modern industrial landscape. The author's exploration of precision and workmanship underscores the enduring pursuit of accuracy in an age of mechanical marvels.

A propos du livre

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.
