Lots of drawn diagram illustrations. Model engineering is the pursuit of constructing proportionally-scaled miniature working representations of full-sized machines; a branch of metalworking with a strong emphasis on artisanry, as opposed to mass production. While now mainly a hobby, in the past it also had commercial and industrial purpose. Machine tools used for model engineering include the lathe, the mill, the shaper, and the drill press. Used: sun faded spine colour. Binding is tight. A very good clean copy.
