Are there any good links, bittorents, ect for scans of machining books
that are out of copyright?

Thanks,

Yes! Large downloads, though. This is one of 2 volumes by Joshua Rose. They have
both.
http://digital.lib.msu.edu/collections/index.cfm?TitleID=274
The same site also has The Advanced Machinist by William Rogers.

If you can't download these, I offer them to newsgroup readers for $5.00, and I
pay the postage.

These books are great for the beginner, but remember they are from the turn of
the last century. While a lot of things are basic, there will be no mention of
modern things like carbide tools.
Good luck!

Ditto. I downloaded the basic lathe chapter (16 mb) and it's nice, well
illustrated.

Gotta smile at the use of the word "Modern" on a 120 year old book

"Modern" is in the name of the book, of course, - even if it was 120 years
ago. Same as with 'Advanced' Machinist from back in the 20's.

Hi Ron,

Where 'ya been? Haven't seen you lately on RCM. Do you mean you have Joshua
Rose, Vol 1 and 2, on CD for $5.00??
Hey, print one out for me and I'll pay you $10.00 ! Just kidding.

Been busy, but I look in from time to time.
Even better, it also includes "The Advanced Machinist" by William Rogers and "A
Catechism of the Steam Engine" by John Bourne, C.E.
See Ya!

I have one - 1889 - "A Textbook on Mechanical and Electrical Engineering"
(International Correspondence Schools) - Transmission, Railways, Lighting
Dynamo-Electric Machine Design, Motor Design (last two DC),
Theory of Alternating-current Apparatus, Design of Alternating-Current Apparatus
with practical Questions and Examples.


I like the ME and EE in one book - and "Theory of AC apparatus"!
Has some neat pictures.

I don't know - but I suspect this book or others were shipped world wide to Engineers
who in those days were building things world wide. Tunnels, Railways.....
Who were in training and up-grading. Getting new tech.
The Engineers Engineer!


I did some of that - correspondence - with Purdue and with U. of Indiana -
post school - due the advancement of the IC - both logic and memory.
I finally worked in Bipolar, GaAs, CMOS, SiGe of designs I did and what others
wanted. Got only 1 patent, but many a notice and lots of sales.
