Mechanical laboratory methods; the testing of instruments and machines in the mechanical engineering laboratory and in practice
A 1922 engineering textbook by Julian Chase Smallwood, published in New York by D. Van Nostrand, teaching students and practicing engineers how to test instruments and machines in the mechanical laboratory. The 80 figures are line diagrams of test rigs, rollers, valves, and linkages, with hatched sections, dashed hidden outlines, dimension arrows, and italic letter labels useful as technical-drawing vocabulary.
