Machine Tools & Workshop Practice For Engineering Students & Apprentices
By Alfred Parr
Published by Longmans, Green And Co: London 1921
With Illustrations & Folding Charts

"Machine Tools and Workshop Practice for Engineering Students and Apprentices by Alfred Parr is a comprehensive early twentieth-century manual designed to bridge theoretical engineering education and practical workshop application. Written by an experienced instructor at University College, Nottingham, the book systematically covers the principles, operation, and correct use of machine tools essential to modern engineering practice, including lathes, planing machines, drilling machines, riveting equipment, and associated shop processes. Clear explanations are paired with an emphasis on accuracy, safety, and efficiency, reflecting the standards of British industrial training at the height of mechanised manufacturing.

Published in 1921 by Longmans, Green and Co., this substantial volume is illustrated throughout with detailed diagrams and technical drawings, including folding charts that vividly demonstrate workshop layouts, machinery, and processes. As both a teaching text and a historical record of industrial practice in the post-First World War period, it remains a valuable reference for understanding traditional machine-shop methods and engineering pedagogy. This book would particularly appeal to engineering historians, collectors of technical manuals, and readers with an interest in early industrial and mechanical practice."
