This book is entirely different from any other on machine shop practice. It is not descriptive of universal or common shop usage, but shows special ways of doing work better, more cheaply and more rapidly than usual, as done in fifty or more leading shops in Europe and America. Some of its over 500 Items, and 222 Illustrations, are contributed directly for its pages by eminent constructors; the rest have been gathered by the author in his Thirty Years' Travel and Experience. It is the most useful book yet issued for the Machinist. No shop can afford to be without it. Every employee can fit himself for advancement by studying its pages. A FEW OF THE MANY TESTIMONIALS OF "SHOP KINKS." This is an interesting written book, with plenty of good engravings, which are a great help in making clear any text, no matter how well written. There are over five hundred separate items, selected from the author's observations and the observations of others, as well as from the leading mechanical papers. It abounds in handy ways of doing work, commonly called shop kinks, as the title of the book implies, and there is enough useful information in the book to repay the outlay many times over. The devices shown are all taken from actual practice and the name of the shops where they are to be found is given, so there is nothing that can be called untried or impracticable in it. The information imparted by books of this class, especially when written by men of long experience, is the most valuable that can be obtained, and the intelligent shopman will carefully consider the means employed in various shops, determine which is best adapted to his particular case, and adopt the method that will save the most time and money for their employer. No machinist can read it without finding new methods and ideas which will be of value to him.-Machinery, March, 1896. "A strongly bound cloth book, 400 pages, entitled "Shop Kinks" by that living encyclopædia of mechanics, Robert Grimshaw. As might be expected, the author covers almost every possible subject that could come up in a machine shop. The articles are well illustrated, and the different processes clearly explained. Mr. Grimshaw is not one of those who think there is nothing known outside of himself, but is ever gleaning "Kinks" from other men's brains. A copy should be on the desk of every machinist in a factory repair shop, for the right "Kink" at the right time will often prevent the stoppage of a factory."-Wade's Fibre and Fabric, Feb. 15, 1896.
