Laying Out for Boiler Makers and Sheet Metal Workers : A Practical Treatise on the Layout of Boilers, Stacks, Tanks, Pipes, Elbows, and Miscellaneous Sheet Metal Work PDF

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

This book has been compiled for the purpose of giving the practical boilerrhaker the information necessary to enable him-to lay out in detail different types of boilers, tanks, stacks and irregular sheet metalwork.

While the work of laying out, as it is carried on in the boiler shop, requires considerable technical knowledge-in addition to that gained by a practical mechanic in the course of his experience in the shop, yet a complete mastery of such subjects as geometry, mechanics and similar branches of elementary mathematics.

Is not essential for doing the work. For this reason no attempt has been made to present these subjects separately from a theo retical standpoint.

The practical application of certain of the principles involved in these subjects is, however, very important, and this has been explained in a practical way in connection with different jobs of laying out which form a part of the every-daywork in every boiler shop.

Only those lay outs which are of'immediate material use to boilermakers are described, and as far as possible the minor details are given so as to make each problem complete.
