Since publication of the first edition more than 100 years ago, Machinery’s Handbook has been acclaimed as the most popular, bestselling engineering resource of all time. Universally considered the principal reference in the manufacturing, mechanical, and metalworking industries, the Handbook is the ultimate collection of essential information.
