Description: Machine Tool Adjustment - Machinery's Industrial Secrets, hints and kinks originally published by Machinery Magazine, 1910s.0 Republished by Lindsay Publications, Bradley, IL, 1998. 5½ x 8½ paperback, 106 pages, ISBN 1-55918-218-0. Please note this book is new, not used. This is part of Lindsay's wonderful "Machinery's Industrial Secrets" series. It features post-World War One era articles from Machinery Magazine on machine tools and their testing and adjustment. From July 1919 is an article showing British machinists how to take their lathes worn out by World War 1 production, and restore them to factory accuracy. You will learn how to make test measurements, how to calculate how much metal should be scraped from what portion of the headstock and saddle to swing the spindle around into alignment, or lower it to make the tailstock line up. You get sample calculations and incredible nuts-and-bolts tips on restoring a large to accuracy. This article alone is worth the price. Next is a two-part article on adjusting lathe bearings. This is about older older bronze, brass, and even steel bushings and sleeves, not ball- or roller-bearings. There's invaluable information on the advantages of one type of bearing over another in specific applications, and how they can be tweaked to deliver years of precise service so long as they were lubricated and adjusted properly. Finally, a June 1922 article takes you inside the Pratt & Whitney factory in Hartford, Conn. to see how to check the accuracy of lathe lead screws.
