Manual of Applied Machinery Design
The designing of machinery often seems like
some sort of mysterious hocus-pocus to the beginner. This is in part due to
not knowing exactly how to go about the job of designing a machine, as well as
to not being sure of just what things must be considered in the process of doing
the design job. Furthermore, the beginner is generally handicapped by the lack
of knowledge about how machines are constructed. This PDF covers the following
topics related to Machine Design : Support and Retainment of
Rotating Machine Parts, Clutches, Brakes, Speed and Direction Changing Devices,
Motion Changing Devices, Design of Castings and Weldments, Housing Design.
