The Newnes Mechanical Engineer’s Pocket Book is a comprehensive collection of data for mechanical engineers and students of mechanical engineering. Bringing together the data and information that is required to-hand when designing, making or repairing mechanical devices and systems, it has been revised to keep pace with changes in technology and standards. The Pocket Book emphasises current engineering practice and is supported by clear accounts of the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering.Key features include the latest BSI engineering data; focus on engineering design issues; enhanced coverage of roller chain drives, pneumatic and hydraulic systems; and expanded and more accessible detail on statics, dynamics and mathematics.
Over 300 pages of new material, including the latest standards information from BSI
Exhaustive collection of data for mechanical engineers and students of mechanical engineering
Unique emphasis on engineering design, theory, materials and properties
Mechanical engineers and technicians in industrial/manufacturing/workshop/design office settings; College level library reference
