Product Description

This text provides the student and professional mechanical engineer with a reference text of an essentially practical nature. It is uncluttered by text, and extensive use of illustrations and tables provide quick and clear access to information. It also
includes examples of detailed calculations on many of the applications of technology used by mechanical and production engineers, draughtsmen and engineering designers.


Although mainly intended for those studying and practising mechanical engineering, a glance at the contents will show that it is also useful to those in related branches of engineering such as production, marine, offshore, mining, mineral and in
particular that of design. This reference book provides engineers with a wealth of useful material in a very compact and quickly accessible form.


clear presentation and quick access to information
very practical material, readily applied
highly illustrated to aid understanding

Priceless Reference for all Academic levels
This book is full of mechanical solutions from bending moments to simple harmonic motion. It contains a broad expanse of knowlegde of materials, technical drawing info; tolerancing, keyways etc, Fluid mechanincs, Conversion tables etc etc... DON'T BE WITHOUT IT! - Whether ONC student or degree, this book covers it.

A students godsend
I purchased this book after coming across it entirely by accident a few years ago and it probably helped me to gain my degree. Whilst not providing a one stop solution for all engineering problems, it provides with back up from your college library a great stepping stone for solutions. It has a broad sweep of subject matter all backed up with easily annotated formulae.

Must Have Reference
This book is just great, the contents of this book is useful and acts as a guide whenever you are stuck trying find a formula or just basic material guidance. The book is a summerised version of industrial workshop handbooks available at the fraction of the cost. The book is layed out neatly and logically, with reference data at the back of the book. Any Engineering student must by this book - you don't know what you are missing out on.
