PREFACE
For many years "The Tinsmith's Helper and Pattern Book" has been one of the most popular books on tinsmithing and elementary sheet metal work. It is to be found in the majority of the shops, because it explains the elements of pattern drafting and shows how the rules of mensuration are applied to the problems which come up daily. This New Helper is an outgrowth of that practical guide.
At first it was intended to merely revise the old book, but it soon became apparent that an entirely new treatment of the subject was necessary in order to cover the ground. This book is new with the exception of the chapter on Mensuration, which has been re-arranged and amplified, and possibly some fifty pages of problems and tables which are classified according to the phase of the work they cover.
The additional matter cover simple geometry and every phase of modern pattern cutting, from the making of every type of seam, lap and joint, to conical problems and tinware, elbows, piping, ducts, gutters, leaders, cornice and skylight work, and furnace fittings. The use of triangulation in the development of pattern problems is simply explained. Information is also included on tin roofing, corrugated iron work, laying metal shingles, tile, slate, etc.
The chapter of tables contains practically all the data the sheet metal worker requires, from the weight of iron and steel, copper, brass and aluminum sheets and bars, to the capacities of cylinders and rectangular tanks in U. S. gallons. Our Canadian and English friends will find complete tables of capacities based on their standard Imperial gallon. The metric equivalents of all our measures are also given.
The chapter on Recipes and Formulas gives the mixtures for all the soft and hard solders, soldering fluxes, cements, putties, inks for making sheet metal work, rust preventives, etc.
It is the belief of the editor and publishers that this handy little volume is the most complete text-book and guide for the apprentice or trade school student, as well as an up-to-date reference book for the mechanic and shop foreman.
