Excerpt from A Manual of Machinery and Millwork This book is divided into three parts: the first treats of the Geometry of Machinery; the second of the Dynamics of Machinery; and the third of the Materials, Strength, and Construction of Machinery. Under the head of the Geometry of Machinery, machines are considered with reference to the comparative motions only of their moving parts; and rules are given for designing and arranging those parts so as to produce any given comparative motion. Considering that the object of such rules is to adjust the dimensions of the parts of machines by processes of practical geometry, I have thought it advisable to solve every question by drawing, rather than by calculation, except in a few special cases where calculation is indispensable. Many of the graphic rules thus obtained are made more easy and accurate, and some, indeed, are made possible which were not so before, by the aid of new methods of measuring and laying off the lengths of curved lines. Two chapters of the first part are devoted to the detailed consideration of the movements of single pieces in machines. The remainder of the part relates to Pure Mechanism, as defined and reduced to a system by Professor Willis. The order in which the various combinations in mechanism are treated of is different from that adopted by him; but the principles are the same. Several problems in mechanism are solved by methods which, so far as I know, have not hitherto been published; and which possess advantages in point of ease or of accuracy. I may specify, in particular, the drawing of rolling curves, and of some kinds of cams; the construction of the figures of teeth of skew-bevel wheels, and of threads of gearing screws, by the help of the normal section; and some improvements in the details of processes for designing intermittent gear, link-motions, and parallel motions.

Excerpt from Milling Machines and Milling Practice: A Practical Manual for the Use of Manufactures, Engineering Students and Practical Men It is an indisputable fact that with the beginning of the present century the manufacture of machinery has already attained a high state of development and taking into con sideration the progress which it has made in the last decade and is still making, it must be admitted by everyone, Who is in anyway acquainted with any branch of the metal working industry, that the final stage of this development is very far from being reached, but, at the present time, it may be considered as being in a very flourishing condition whilst its forces are still developing. In speaking of metal-working, we do not refer to the working of the precious metals, the usefulness of which, except as a medium of barter, is far inferior to that of the common metals. It is just the baser metals that become valuable by being fashioned into useful objects by the hand of the workman assisted by machines of more or less modern construction. We say this intentionally, as nowadays the complaint is so often heard that owing to the general application of machinery, the skill of the workman is gradually becoming a thing of the past; and it cannot be gainsaid that half a century ago greater skill was often required of the workman's hand even in the metal-working industry, than is the case in the days in which we are now living.
