Stephen D. Chastain's book Iron Melting Cupola Furnaces for the Small Foundry is not a rewrite of information from the past but Steve has designed, built and has in use a cupola furnaces suitable for casting those obsolete iron parts you can no longer find or making proto types all in your back yard.

In this guide to cam manufacture and design, Rothbart (dean emeritus, College of Science and Engineering,Fairleigh Dickinson University) examines the advantages of cams over other motion devices, describes computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques, and provides information on numerical controls for manufacturing, cam curves, cam profile geometry, cam hardware, and cam system dynamics. Information is applicable in industrial and commercial machinery, automotive performance and optimization, and microelectromechanical systems.

Designed for students familiar with abstract mathematical concepts but possessing little knowledge of physics, this graduate-level text was written by a member of the distinguished National Academy of Science. It opens with chapters on classical mechanics and proceeds to a survey of quantum mechanics; topics include the quantum-mechanical substitute for phase space; quantum dynamics and the Schrödinger equation; generalized coordinates; linear systems and the quantization of the electromagnetic field; and quantum-statistical mechanics. The final section on group theory and quantum mechanics of the atom explores spherical symmetry and spin, the n-electron atom and the Pauli exclusion principle, and other subjects. 1963 ed.

The subject of sheet-metal work has in recent years become of first-class importance owing to the advent of all-metal aircraft. In addition to the use of aluminum and aluminum alloys for wing coverings and fuselage skins, they are used on practically all types of aircraft for engine cowlings, fairings, and petrol tanks.
The use of sheet metal in automobile construction has been standard practice for many years. In addition to these two very important applications, sheet metal work plays a vital part in heating and ventilating engineering and a wide variety of engineering and allied trades.
This book presents an up-to-date survey of the processes and operations involved in the cutting and shaping of all types of sheet metal. Much needed information is given on every aspect.

Dave will show you how to build a coil winder like those available in electronics catalogs years ago from common, easily-obtained materials. Although it may look complex, it really is not. You'll find that it is easy to build. You don't need to be a mechanical genius, or need expensive tools. Yet this amazing little machine will professionally wind universal and honeycomb coils, single layer and multilayer solenoids, close-wound and space wound coils, and even pi-spaced coils such as used for RF chokes and transformers. This is a typical Gingery how-to book – loaded with illustrations, dimensions, and step-by-step text that is so detailed it almost holds your hand!

In the competitive business arena companies must continually strive to create new and better products faster, more efficiently, and more cost effectively than their competitors to gain and keep the competitive advantage. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are now the industry standard. These seven volumes give the reader a comprehensive treatment of the techniques and applications of CAD, CAE, and CAM.
