1. The Mechanician - A Treatise
On The
Construction And Manipulation Of Tools,
For The
Use And Instruction Of Young Engineers And
Scientific Amateurs (1147 Engravings) 1879 Cameron Knight (608 pages)
"THE Mechanician is essentially a book of processes, including all operations by which the
principal portions of engines are forged, planed, lined, turned, and otherwise treated. The
author endeavours to perform two things to explain to uninitiated students how engines are
really made, together with the fundamental principles involved in making them, and also to
produce a book which shall be useful to practical mechanics for reference in the difficult details
of their business."
2. Practical Blacksmithing Vol 1, 3 & 4 M T Richardson 1889 (266 pages)
A Collection Of Articles Contributed At Different Times By
Skilled Workmen To The Column's Of "The Blacksmith
And Wheelwright" And Covering Nearly The
Whole Range Of Blacksmithing From
The Simplest Job Of Work To
Some Of The Most Complex
Formings.
"Although there are numerous legendary accounts of the important position occupied by the blacksmith,
and the honors accorded him even at a period as remote in the world's history as the time of King
Solomon, strange to relate there is no single work in the language devoted solely to the practice of the
blacksmith's art."
5. Farm Work Shop Practical Manual Training George M Brace 1915 (312 pages)
THIS book is written primarily for pupils taking
agriculture in elementary and secondary schools, and
for pupils in the practical arts work of schools in
rural communities ; but it also has suggestions of
great merit for farmers and others who have to deal
in any way with the varied repair and construction
problems of farm and village life.
6. Blacksmith Shop Practise Arrangement And Equipment Forging Of Hooks And Chains Welding James Cran 1910 (48 pages).
The principal essentials of a blacksmith shop where maximum production
at minimum cost is expected, are light, ventilation, sanitary
arrangements and sufficient space to accommodate a full equipment
of machinery and appliances systematically arranged and installed.
What the writer considers a basis that could be worked from in constructing,
equipping and arranging blacksmith shops from a few forges
capacity to the largest is shown and described in the following.
7. Machine Blacksmithing James Cran 1910 (56 pages)
"It is not necessary that a system for the blacksmith shop be of the
kind usually known as red tape, which often takes more time to handle
than the time it saves; but a simple method of keeping track of work,
tools, and material will save time and expense. To begin with, the blacksmith shop ought to be large enough to provide
a place for everything in the shape of tools and equipment, and
permit everything to be in its place. Forges should be numbered with
figures of size and color which can be easily seen from any part of the
shop."
8. The Value Of Science In The Smithy And Forge W H Cathcart 1916 (188 pages)
IT is not usual for anyone who is constantly engaged
in the workshop to attempt to write and lecture on the
practical application of modern science. Mr Cathcart,
however, who has been thoroughly trained in practical
smith-work in the blacksmith's shop, has not only
attempted but has succeeded in writing on the subject,
showing clearly how much benefit blacksmiths would
derive if they were to apply more science in the conduct
of their everyday work.
9. Modern Blacksmithing Rational Horseshoeing And Wagon Making 1904 J G Holmstrom (214 pages)
With Rules, Tables, Recipes, Etc., Useful
To Manufacturers. Blacksmiths,
Machinists, Well-Drillers, Engineers,
Liverymen, Horse - Shoers, Farmers,
Wagon-Makers, Mechanics, Amateurs
And All Others Who Have Occasion
To Perform The Work For Which
This Book Is Primarily Intended
10. Forge Practise And The Heat Treatment Of Steel John Lord Bacon 1919 (440 pages)
MODERN demands on the finished products of
steel have necessitated rapid strides in the art of
heat treatment of the metal. As the subjects of
forging, hardening, tempering and annealing are so
closely correlated it has seemed wise to add to"Forge Practice" a certain amount of material
devoted to the other branches of the art.
11. Farm Blacksmithing A Textbook And
Problem Book For Students In Agricultural
Schools And Colleges, Technical
Schools And For Farmers John F Friese 1921 ( 104 Pages)
The purpose of the book is two-fold. It is intended as an
aid to a teacher of farm blacksmithing, being a source of problems,
and suggestive of how the work may be carried forward.
In addition to being a "What" and "How" book for instructors,
the author constantly had in mind its direct use by farmers as a
means of self-instruction in blacksmithing. This accounts for
certain details and some repetitions. Because of its intended use
as a book of self-instruction the author has taken little for granted.
12. Elementary Wrought Iron, by JW Bollinger 1930 (140 pages).
This is the age of steel!
And steel has made possible the giant we call machinery !
A moment's consideration will show how dependent modern civilization
is on machinery and the products of machinery. Think back to
the time when primeval man tilled the soil with a sharpened stick;
when transportation meant carrying the burden on the backs of men
who walked to their destination; and when "necessities" consisted of
a "house" made of rude logs or stones, with leaves or skins for beds,
and stones or stumps for tables and chairs ; when man's "power" consisted
of brute muscular force alone ; and when his "geography" included
only the neighboring hills and valleys.
13. Elementary Forge Practise Robert H Harcourt 1920 (168 pages)
While it is realized that a comprehensive knowledge of forge
practice can be gained only thru contact with a commercial
shop doing a wide variety of work, it is at the same time believed
that an understanding of fundamental principles may
be secured thru a carefully planned and conducted course
of instruction in a technical school. This book is designed
to assist the student in grasping fundamental principles. To
this end a series of projects involving fundamental operations
has been devised.
14. A Handbook Of Art smith Franz Sales Myer 214 Illustrations 1896 (232 pages)
Professor Franz Sales Meyer's previous works on the Science of
Ornament, of which his "Handbook of Ornament", in the best known
in this country, entitle his views and writings to respectful
attention, though his knowledge of smith-craft is theoretical rather
than practical. This, to one less highly trained , would have
proved a serious difficulty, but brought up from his cradle in an
atmosphere of technical education, he has made himself thoroughly
acquainted with the metier of which he treats.
15. Forgecraft Charles Phillip Crowe 1913 (200 pages)
This book is intended for the student, the apprentice, and
the artisan who works at the forge. For any one who cares
to understand forgecraft, some things explained here will be
found profitable.
The author has found it impossible to complete many of
the themes begun in this book, and had no intention of attempting
to exhaust the theme when he began writing.
16. Bold Nut And Rivet Forging Douglas T Hamilton 1914 (52 pages)
Machine forging, as we know it to-day, is of wide application, embracing
a large number of machines and processes that apply, in a
measure, to almost any manufacturing plant. Machine parts hitherto
made from castings are now made much more economically by the
use of the drop-hammer or forging machine, and give much more
satisfactory service.
17. Dinanderie A History And Description Of Mediaval Art Work In Copper Brass And Bronze J Tavenor Perry 1910 (360 pages)
Dinanderie was the name used during the Middle Ages to
denote the various articles required for ecclesiastical or domestic
use made of copper or of its alloys, brass and bronze, with
which the name of Dinant on the Meuse was so intimately
associated ; and as we have no word in modern English which
would in the same way embrace all branches of this important
art work, we have adopted it as the most convenient for our
purpose.
18. Copper Work A Textbook For Teachers And Students In The Manual Arts Augustus F Rose 1906 (126 pages)
IN
this book the subject of Copper Work, as it may be
introduced into the public schools, is treated to the
extent of specifying an equipment and suggesting some of
the possibilities of a course. Not only will there be found
an abundance of illustrative material on this subject, consisting
of drawings and photographs of various objects
executed by upper grammar and high school pupils, but also
a detailed description of the processes necessary for the
execution of many of the designs.
19. The Metallurgy Of Iron And Steel Bradley Stoughton 1908 (552 pages)
THE purpose of this book is to serve as a text-book, not only
for college work, but for civil, mechanical, electrical, metallurgical,
mining engineers and architects, and for those engaged in work allied
to engineering or metallurgy. America now produces almost as
much iron and steel as the rest of the world together, although
less than eighteen years ago she held second rank in this industry.
It seems fitting that the record of this progress should be brought
together into one volume covering every branch of the art of extracting
the metal from its ores and of altering its adaptable and
ever-varying nature to serve the many requirements of civilized
life.
