DESCRIPTION:
Oxy-Acetalene Welding book. papax4 This is a reprint of a pretty old welding book. But, it has a lot of basic knowledge about metals, and their makeup that are well defined. Although technology may have superseded a lot of the material in this book, I still give it a thumbs up, as some technologies don't change much over the years. Especially since it’s cost to Prime customers is $0 if downloaded to your Kindle.. It was an OK book I bought this for my husband's Kindle Fire and his biggest complaint was that the book referenced several illustrations but there were none on the Fire - what's with that? In any hardcover or paperback book the illustrations would have been close to the reference which helps to understand what the author is talking about. I don't understand why the illustrations were left out.. "disappointing reproduction of an excellent older book." according to William R. Meyers. The info presented is good, but none of the illustrations in the original are included, greatly hampering its usefulness. Better to look for it or similar works at Archive.org or Google Books. With modern means of copying such works, there is no excuse for so crippling a good book.
This book was originally published in 1916, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on the subject.. The object of this book was to cover the several processes of welding, along with other processes that are closely allied in method and subject of joining metal to metal with the aid of heat. The chapters of this book include: 'Metals and Alloys', 'Welding Materials', 'Acetylene Generators', 'Oxy-Acetylene Welding Practice', 'Electric Welding', etcetera. This antique book contains information on electric, forge, and thermit welding, together with related methods and materials used in metal working - and the oxygen process for removal of carbon. Much practical information is given on the uses and characteristics of the various metals; on the production, handling and use of various gasses and other materials which are part of the equipment; on the tools and accessories for the production; and the handling of these materials
