American Woodworking Machinery for Vocational Training

This book is divided into three parts. Part I is devoted to the description of American Woodworking machines for vocational schools. Part II has to do with the operation of some of the machines with the view of helping the student to a better understanding of the correct position to take at the various machines he will be called upon to operate. Part III is of primary interest to the teacher or director of vocational work, especially to those on whom fall the responsibility for specifying equipment for their schools.

The guiding principle in the construction of our machines rests solely on the nature of the work they are to perform. Our engineers are constantly seeking the highest requirements of the trade and making improvements accordingly.

We have kept pace with the highest developments in electrical drives. The direct application of both A. C. and D. C. motors to saw arbors and cutter heads, as illustrated in this catalog, are original and exclusive with us. When a motor goes on an American machine it becomes a part of the machine itself (see our Head block Lathes, Jointers, Saw Benches and Surfacers); you will find no clumsy makeshift arrangements here.
