Excerpt from Lockwood's Dictionary of Terms Used in the Practice of Mechanical Engineering IN this little book I propose to offer to the Draughtsman, Pattern maker, Moulder, Smith, Boiler-maker, Fitter, Turner, Erector, and Engineer's Storekeeper a ready means of obtaining or verify ing the meaning of terms in use in other departments than his own, and which, owing to the ever-widening gulf which separates one class of workmen from the rest, are seldom familiar to those outside of that particular department in which the terms are in\use. I ven\ture to think that the engineer's pupil beginning his practical studies, and the amateur worker, neither of whom can possibly know the sense of many of the terms which they meet with in their technical books and journals, will also find it profitable to turn to a book of this character for definite information thereupon.
