''Machinery's Handbook'' ''for machine shop and drafting-room; a reference book on machine design and shop practice for the mechanical engineer, draftsman, toolmaker, and machinist'' (the full title of the 1st edition) is a classic reference work in mechanical engineering and practical workshop mechanics in one volume published by Industrial Press, New York, since 1914. The first edition was created by Erik Oberg (1881–1951) and Franklin D. Jones (1879–1967), who are still mentioned on the title page of the 29th edition (2012). Recent editions of the handbook contain chapters on mathematics, mechanics, materials, measuring, toolmaking, manufacturing, threading, gears, and machine elements, combined with excerpts from ANSI standards. In 1917, Oberg and Jones also published ''Machinery's Encyclopedia'' in 7 volumes. The handbook and encyclopedia are named after the monthly magazine ''Machinery'' (Industrial Press, 1894–1973), where the two were consulting editors. Today, the phrases "machinist's handbook" or "machinists' handbook" are almost always imprecise references to ''Machinery's Handbook''. During the decades from World War I to World War II, these phrases could refer to either of two competing reference books: McGraw-Hill's ''American Machinists' Handbook'' or Industrial Press's ''Machinery's Handbook''. The former book ceased publication after the 8th edition (1945). (One short-lived spin-off appeared in 1955.) The latter book, ''Machinery's Handbook'', is still regularly revised and updated, and it continues to be a "bible of the metalworking industries" today. ''Machinery's Handbook'' is apparently the direct inspiration for similar works in other countries, such as Sweden's ''Karlebo handbok'' (1st ed. 1936). ==See also== * Machinist Calculator 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Machinery's Handbook」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
