Excerpt from Shop Kinks: A Most Useful Book for the Machinist
About thirty years ago, on entering one of our principal iron ship and engine building works, my chief suggested that I keep a note-book or its equivalent. This advice was at once accepted, with advantage to myself, and I hope to others also. The practice has been kept up throughout a very busy life, passed in touch with important industrial establishments in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and with engineers, machinists, and scientists whose acquaintance (and in some instances friendship) I acknowledge as a rare privilege.
During a large portion of this time I have contributed editorially and over my own signature and various "pen-names" to the principal practical journals in English and French, and more recently in German, on both sides of the Atlantic. The favorable reception accorded my published articles and books emboldens me to produce this volume.
