Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excavating Machinery As its title indicates, the scope Of this book is to describe excavat ing machinery Of various kinds and the uses for which it is devised. During the past decade the development Of reclamation work in the western and southern sections Of the country by private enter prise and by local, state and national governments, has awakened great and general interest. The rapid extension and improvement Of railroad systems and the expansion Of great cities by the filling in Of adjacent waste lands, and by sanitary and other municipal works, have called for the use Of the most efficient machinery. Designers and builders have been stimulated by this demand and many marked improvements have been introduced into present-day machinery for these purposes. The author has endeavored to de scribe the makes and types Of excavators commonly used in all classes of work except marine dredging. He has not attempted to describe or even mention every make of excavator, but every type has been treated in sufficient detail to give a clear idea Of its construction and field Of work. The author has been impressed by the careless methods used in the construction and repair of excavators. A new machine is built more in accordance with the forms Of previous ones of the same Class, rather than in accordance with the demands Of the particular piece Of work to which it is to be applied. Rule of thumb methods are used instead Of original design. In making repairs, it is the gen eral custom to replace the broken parts with new ones exactly like the old ones, or after repeated breaks, to make the weak member a little stronger. This is Often blind guesswork, and is expensive both to the contractor and the owner and should be replaced by scientific study and accurate workmanship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excavation: Machinery Methods and Costs; Including a Revision of "Excavating Machinery" A noteworthy development in the field of excavating machinery has taken place since the publication of the book, Excavating Machinery in 1913. The author has received so many requests for information concerning the more recent types of excavators and the newer uses of older types, that it has seemed desirable to present this work. The new book embodies some of the material of the former work, but is entirely re-cast and largely re-written. The new text has two general divisions; the first comprising a description of the construction, method and typical cost of Operation of each type of excavator, and the second embodying a comparative study of the efficient and economic use of the different types of machines in the various fields of construction work. The author has endeavored to describe the makes and types of excavators commonly used in all classes of work. He has not attempted to describe or even mention every make of excavator, but every type has been treated in sufficient detail to give a clear idea of its construction and field of work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Machine Shop: Construction Equipment and Management The eternal fitness of things, as well as the spirit of this progressive age, requires that in whatever we design, build, equip, and arrange for the production of our portion of the vast output of the manufactures of the present day, we shall strive to make it the best of its class, and the best adapted for the special uses to which it will be put, the kind of goods or machinery to be manufactured, and the Circumstances, conditions, and surroundings under which we are to work. In a great majority of cases the manufacturing plants of this country have been the result of growth and progress, more or less rapid, of the business which they were designed to accommodate. Often they began with very meager facilities for the work in hand, with poorly designed and cheaply constructed buildings, and all the conveniences and accessories of the plainest kind. As the business enlarged, greater means were available, and necessity demanded, the buildings were gradually added to and their other facilities increased. Buildings were enlarged by increasing their height, by the addi tion of wings or the erection of separate buildings, Often disconnected and scattered, without any apparent plan or consideration Of their accessibility or usefulness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.

Download or read book Earth and Rock Excavation written by Charles Prelini and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earth and Rock Excavation: A Practical Treatise There is hardly a class of engineering construction into which excavation of earth or rock does not enter to some extent, and in many engineering works excavation is by far the largest item of labor and expense. Despite these facts English engineering literature is almost barren of books which treat of earth and rock excavation in a concise and comprehensive manner having regard both for the planning and computation of such work and for the methods and machines by which it is accomplished. The present book is an attempt to supply this deficiency and has been written with the following objects chiefly in view: First to con centrate in a small volume descriptions of the different operations which are required for planning and executing any work of exca vation in either earth or rock; second, to classify and describe clearly the various implements and machines used for excavating and hauling away the material. So far as the author knows, there is no book in the English language which covers these fields. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Construction and Operation of Wood-Working Machines As it was stated in the outset that no apology was needed for the introduction of this work, it is superfluous, for the same reasons, to apologize for its not being a text-book, - there 1s nothing to form a text-book from. The limited experience of one person can furnish but little material for such a work. If it is desired to prepare a treatise on the steam-engine or machine tools, or in fact on any of the common branches of mechanism, except wood machines, you have only to go to any scientific library, and the whole thing is before you, - rules, formulae, drawings, repeated by a score of writers; but to write of wood machines there are no such data. Let this be a sufficient apology for what this treatise may lack, as compared with treatises devoted to other branches of engineering.

Download or read book Rudimentary Treatise on the Construction of Cranes and Machinery Classic Reprint written by Joseph Glynn and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on the Construction of Cranes and Machinery The subject of this Treatise is the construction and use of machines which diminish toil, and facilitate and lessen labour without superseding it, enabling men to perform what they could not accomplish without such aid. Deprived of mechanical power, a man's force is limited to his muscular strength, of which he has but little, in proportion to his bulk and weight, when compared with other animals; his disposable mechanical force, when daily exerted for ten hours, being only about one-tenth of his weight. The old race of millwrights - men who designed and constructed their own work - may be considered extinct; and the operative engineers or "fitters" of modern times, although excellent workmen at the vice or the lathe, have, since the introduction of self-acting tools, and by the classification of labour, become almost machines themselves. One man has been trained to do one thing, in doing which, however skilful he may be, he exercises no discretion of his own; he has nothing to contrive or to proportion. But good springs out of evil.
