General Shop Welding & Cutting
This book is a great collector's item! It is from the Oakland, CA Public Library and was first checked out on Jan. 17, 1945. "The fine for keeping book overtime will be 3 CENTS A DAY" It is stamped "Oakland Public Library" in a couple of places inside the book
The book itself is a how-to book for learning Gas Welding & A.C. Arc Welding in a classroom/shop type setting. "This book in the General Shop Series is a valuable text for the student or young mechanic who desires to learn welding by himself." It can be used for both group and individual instruction. It consists of different projects, for example:
"To Select the Correct Torch Tip"
"To Make Patterns for Cutting Pipe for Turns"
"To Bronze Weld Copper, Brass and Bronze"
"To Make a Horizontal Butt Weld"
There are illustrations and figures to demonstrate different procedures.
In great condition for its age!
