Excerpt from The Elements of Machine Design: General Principles; Strength of Materials Rivets, Bolts, and Other Fastenings; Journals and Shafting; Couplings; Pedestals Transmission of Power by Gearing, Belting Ropes and Chains
In 1890 the work was revised, considerable additions were made, and the chapters relating to engine details published separately. It was again revised and enlarged in 1901. But knowledge is always advancing, and further revision and enlargement became necessary. The author felt that mere patchwork revision was no longer possible. Without any substantial alteration of plan or scope the present edition has not been merely revised, it has been almost completely rewritten. It is hoped that it has been fully brought up to date and that the modifications made will add to the completeness, accuracy, and clearness of statement of the work.

If originally the author had fully realised the multiplicity and complexity of the problems which arise in designing machinery, the present treatise would probably not have been written. If he had now for the first time to face the task of writing it, he would no doubt take the view that for an adequate scientific treatment of the subject a much larger treatise would be necessary. However, at the suggestion of the late Professor Merrifield the author undertook in 1877 to write a small but systematic treatise on Machine Design, and although he was shortly afterwards engaged in the onerous duties of a new Professorship the work was completed. There are now so many aids to the study of the application of scientific principles to all branches of engineering practice, and so much of engineering experience has been made accessible, that the difficulty of dealing with the subject at the time this book was written will hardly be recognised now. That it has so long continued in demand may perhaps be taken to prove that it met a want and has proved useful. Perhaps on the whole it has been not the less useful that it was not originally projected on a more ambitious scale.
