"The lathe is such an important tool in the metal-working arts, and is made in so many different sizes and patterns, that a volume many items larger than this would be needed to deal fully with its design, construction and use. The present book is, however, mainly intended as a guide to the methods of using lathes of the kind usually found in the workshops of general engineers, cycle and motor repairers, instrument makers, model makers, and amateurs."--Preface, pages 5.
