At Stevens Institute of Technology, Tech-nology, George W. Barnwell, Professor Pro-fessor of Production Practice, has been instructing and turning out ome very fine young engineers tor a number of years. Some of them today are occupying important impor-tant positions in the National Defense De-fense program. Just ahead of him is perhp.ns an even more important impor-tant task aiding thousands of men of all ages who heretofore have been unable to obtain instruction, in-struction, to acquire a sufficient knowledge of machine shop practice prac-tice to make themselves of real value to Defense industries. Professor Barnwell has compiled com-piled and edited a book that fills a great present industrial need the New Encyclopedia of Machine Shop Practice a 576 page volume, vol-ume, in practical, understandable, non-technical English, with nearly 1000 illustrations and covering 2800 separate items. It is within the rach of everyone, for it will eosi 1&3S than two dollars. "It has been my experience that many young men are better off and happier with a combined use of their hands and their heads, rather than merely using their heads alone to earn a living," remarked re-marked Professor Barnwell. 'Throughout the country, youngsters young-sters today are enthusiastic about getting into Defense industries and are showing a splendid patriotic patri-otic spirit, "Tn the past, one- of the greatest great-est handicaps to ambitious, mechanically-inclined boys was that books on the subject they needed most were too costly. Within the next ten days this new book will be published and many who live in places where elementary training train-ing is not available, will be able to learn a surprising amount from it knowledga that will enable them to advance much more rapidly rap-idly when they obtain jobs in industry. in-dustry. There it an appalling shortage of machinists and trained men. Wages are high. Many companies com-panies welcome applicants who have some basic knowledge and desire further practical training." The book to which a score of practical experts have contributed, contrib-uted, and which is published by Wm. H. Wise & Co., 50 West 47th St., ' ew York, opens with what is in lect a complete home-study course in one chapter on the use of hand tools. It then covers the whole area of metal working by modern machinery machine tool operj ,'ions, turret and automatic lathes, thread - cutting, milling, planing, shaping, gear cutting, jigs and-flxtuifs, punch press operations, op-erations, forging, welding, cutting, brazing and foundry practice and the use of precision instruments in the shop. |
