Machinery's Handbook
I have the 1954 Edition , given to me by GE when I beame an apprentice at Schenectady in 1955. Interesting that this book never left my side as I pursued science for the following 50 years.
The first edition was 1914. This covers the last half of the Parker era quite well. My copy includes hardening and coloring techniques as well as speeds and feeds for cutting many materials of that time.
Best, Austin
