Part of the "Machinery's Reference Series", this vintage volume contains a complete guide to grinding and lapping written by Oskar Kylin. "Lapping" refers to a machining process where two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them, either using hand movement or a machine. Grinding is an abrasive machining process employing a grinding wheel as the cutting tool. With helpful diagrams, useful measurement tables, and simple explanations, this handy volume would make for fantastic reference guide for engineers and a great addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Grinding and Grinding Machines, by Oskar Kylin", "The Disk Grinder", "Cost of Grinding, by H. F. Noves", "The Bursting of Emery Wheels", "Grinding Kinks and Examples of Grinding", "Lapping Flat Work and Gages, by F. E. Shailor", "The Rotatory Lap, by A. J. DeLille", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
