Sinopsis
Excerpt from Machine Design
One can never become a machine designer by studying books. Much help may come from books, but the true designer must have judgment, ripened by experience, in. Constructing and operating machines. One may know the laws that govern the development, transmission and application of energy; may have knowledge of constructive materials; may know how to obtain results by mathematical processes, and yet be unable to design a good machine. There is also needed a knowledge of many things connected with manufacture, transportation, erection and operation. With this knowledge it is possible to take results of computation and accept, reject and modify until a machine is produced that will do the required work satisfactorily.
Professor John E. Sweet once said, It is comparatively easy to design a good new machine, but it is very hard to design a machine that will be good when it is old. A machine must not only do its work at first, but must continue to do it with a minimum of repairs as long as the work needs to be done. The designer must be able to foresee the results of machine operation; he must have imagination. This is an inborn power, but it may be developed by use and by engineering experience.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Machine Design
The call for a new edition of this book has given opportunity for thorough revision of the text and the inclusion of results of recent investigations of machine elements. The task, by cordial mutual consent, was undertaken and has been executed solely by the junior author, upon whom the entire responsibility for the book now rests.
The original plan of emphasizing fundamental principles and methods of reasoning is retained and there has been no effort to make the volume cyclopedic in scope.
Engineering literature has been freely consulted and the indebtedness to other writers is acknowledged in the text, as in the earlier editions. Similarly, references arc made to more exhaustive treatments of many topics than are possible in this volume.
Thanks arc extended to Assistant Professor L. E. Cutter, Mr. B. M. Green, graduate assistant in machine design, and Mr. D. J. Conant, all of Stanford University, for the preparation of many of the drawings for the new illustrations.
