Excerpt from Notes on Machine Design

In presenting this book no claim is made of originality of subject matter, as nearly every thing in it can be found elsewhere. The object in preparing the book was to gather together in small compass the more simple formulas for the strength and stiffness of machine parts, with an explanation of the principles involved, and with such tables and general information as the designer of machinery might find useful.

The book pre-supposes an acquaintance with mathematics and the laws of the strength of materials.

In short, the aim has been to put the mathematical principles of machine design in a compact form at a moderate price for the use of the student and the young engineer.

In revising the text for a second edition some additions have been made to the physical constants in tables I and II as the result of recent experiments. Experimental data obtained by the author in the laboratories of the school have also been added, notably those in regard to iron and steel pulleys, belts, fly wheels, gear teeth, ball bearings, and the friction of steam packings.

The author wishes to acknowledge the great assistance given him by Mr. J. Verne Stanford in the preparation of drawings for the cuts in this edition.
