4th EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED STEEL ITS SELECTION, ANNEALING, HARDENING AND TEMPERING By E. R. MARKHAM 168 Specially Prepared Illustrations PRICE $2.50 400 Pages THIS HIS work was formally known as "THE AMERICAN STEEL WORKER" but on the publication of the present edition, the publishers deemed it advisable to change the title to a more comprehensive one, viz: "Steel, Its Selection, Annealing, Hardening and Tempering ". This book tells how to select and to know the steel best suited to various purposes; gives reasons for the different steels; how to heat in the making of everything in the way of tools made from steel; how to proceed in the making of taps, reamers, drills and milling cutters; how to harden dies and punches from the largest to the smallest; about the tempering of springs, from watch springs up; about saws, chisels, and other wood-working tools; about pack and case hardening; how to anneal; about heating apparatus, the kinds to use for the best results, and how to make such heating apparatus right at home if it becomes necessary; gives formulas for mixtures for baths for different purposes, and gives good reasons why each is best adapted to its special work. In fact, there isn't a thing that a steel worker would want to know that isn't included within its pages. Mr. Markham has been selecting, annealing, hardening, tempering and studying steel for nearly thirty years and is still at it. There's a reason for every failure you have-and a remedy. You'll find them both in this book; and it will be mighty handy to have a copy to look over when something goes wrong and you want to get it going right without any delay. There are new Sections on High Speed Steels, High Carbon Steel, Electric and Salt Bath Furnaces and Ovens. This makes the book more valuable than ever. A copy ought to be in the hands of every wide awake mechanic and in every shop library in the country-and it will be when its value is fully realized. Its pages are full of practical information that you cannot find elsewhere. AMONG SOME OF THE SUBJECTS TREATED ARE The Workman-Steel-Methods of Heating-Heating Tool Steel-Forging-Annealing-Hardening Bathe- of Machine Steel-Special Steels-Steel for Various Tools-Cases of WHAT IS SAID OF THIS BOOK "We are glad to note the appearance of this excellent book. No tool maker or steel worker can make a mistake in buying a copy of this publication."-American Machinist. "Contains 400 pages of solid information."-American Blacksmith. "Every Machine Shop Superintendent and Tool-Room Foreman ought to possess a copy of this valuable book, and engineers in charge can save their firms money by circulating it in their workshops where fine steel tools are made."-The Canadian Engineer. 29 the treatment of another kind of tool to your imagination and judgment, but it gives careful instructions for every detail of every tool, whether it be a tap, a reamer or just a screw-driver. It tells about the tempering of small watch springs, the hardening of cutlery, and the annealing of dies. In fact there isn't a thing that a steel worker would want to know that isn't included. It is the standard book on selecting, hardening, and tempering all grades of steel. Among the chapter headings might be mentioned the following subjects: Introduction; the workman; steel; methods of heating; heating tool steel; forging; annealing; hardening baths; baths for hardening; hardening steel; drawing the temper after hardening; examples of hardening; pack hardening; case hardening; spring tempering; making tools of machine steel; special steels; steel for various tools; causes of trouble; high speed steels, etc. 400 pages. Very fully illustrated. Fourth Edition. Price. $2.50 HARDENING, TEMPERING, ANNEALING, AND FORGING OF STEEL. By J. V. WOODWORTH. A new work treating in a clear, concise manner all modern processes for the heating, annealing, forging, welding, hardening, and tempering of steel, making it a book of great practical value to the metal-working mechanic in general, with special directions for the successful hardening and tempering of all steel tools used in the arts, including milling cutters, taps, thread dies, reamers, both solid and shell, hollow mills, punches and dies, and all kinds of sheet metal working tools, shear blades, saws, fine cutlery, and metal cutting tools of all description, as well as for all implements of steel both large and small. In this work the simplest and most satisfactory hardening and tempering processes are given. The uses to which the leading brands of steel may be adapted are concisely presented, A chapter devoted to the different processes for Case-hardening is also included, and TRACTORS THE MODERN GAS TRACTOR.

Nearly 300 illustrations and folding plates. Price $2.00 MARINE STEAM TURBINES. TURBINES By DR. G. BAUER and O. LASCHE. Assisted by This work forms a supplementary volume to the book entitled "Marine Engines and Boilers." The authors of this book, Dr. G. Bauer and O. Lasche, may be regarded as the leading authorities on turbine construction. The book is essentially practical and discusses turbines in which the full expansion of steam passes through a number of separate turbines arranged for driving two or more shafts, as in the Parsons system, and turbines in which the complete expansion of steam from inlet to exhaust pressure occurs in a turbine on one shaft, as in the case of the Curtis machines. It will enable a designer to carry out all the ordinary calculation necessary for the construcion of steam turbines, hence it fills a want which is hardly met by larger and more theoretical works. Numerous tables, curves and diagrams will be found, which explain with remarkable lucidity the reason why turbine blades are designed as they are, the course which steam takes through turbines of various types, the thermodynamics of steam turbine calculation, the influence of vacuum on steam consumption of steam turbines, etc. In a word, the very information which a designer and builder of steam turbines most requires. The book is divided into parts as follows: 1. Introduction. 2. General remarks on the design of a turbine installation. 3. The calculation of steam turbines. 4. Turbine design. 5. Shafting and propellers. 6. Condensing plant. 7. Arrangement of turbines. 8. General remarks on the arrangement of steam turbines in steamers. 9. Turbine-driven auxiliaries. 10. Tables. Large octavo, 214 pages. Fully illustrated and containing 18 tables. Including an entropy chart. Price, net. $3.50 WATCHMAKING WATCHMAKERS' HANDBOOK. BY CLAUDIUS SAUNIER.
