Although much of model engineering work is a matter of making one part to fit another and thus may obviate the need for the sophisticated means of measuring often called for in production engineering, the accuracy of a finished job begins with the exactness of the initial making out and continues with the accuracy of measurements made during the progress of the work.
Contents: ● Concepts of Measurement ● Rules and Calipers ● Micrometers ● Vernier Caliper Gauges ● Dial Gauges ● Angular Measurement ● General Marking-Out Tools ● Tools For Marking Castings, Forgings, etc ● Marking Out Sheet Components ● Interpreting Drawings ● Summary ● A Practical Exam
How to use measuring equipment and how to mark out work - not always the simple matter it might at first seem - are essential skills for any engineer and the purpose of this book is to show how they may be acquired and employed.
