The Newnes Mechanical Engineer's Pocket Book is a comprehensive collection of data for mechanical engineers and students of mechanical engineering. Bringing together the data and information that is required to-hand when designing, making or repairing mechanical devices and systems, it has been revised to keep pace with changes in technology and standards. The Pocket Book emphasises current engineering practice and is supported by clear accounts of the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering.Key features include the latest BSI engineering data; focus on engineering design issues; enhanced coverage of roller chain drives, pneumatic and hydraulic systems; and expanded and more accessible detail on statics, dynamics and mathematics. - Over 300 pages of new material, including the latest standards information from BSI - Exhaustive collection of data for mechanical engineers and students of mechanical engineering - Unique emphasis on engineering design, theory, materials and properties

This new edition of what is a very successful Pocket Book has been substantially revised to take account of the most recently introduced standards and the newest technology. Always with the emphasis on current engineering practice, this is an exhaustive collection of useful data supported by clear accounts of the fundamental principles, essential for both the modern mechanical engineer and the student of mechanical engineering. This mass of information is rendered easily accessible by division into four main parts - maths and science, design data, materials and cutting tools - which are in turn divided into smaller topic areas. A well laid-out contents and index help the reader find their way around. Fully revised to cover most recently introduced standards Completely comprehensive with emphasis on current engineering practice Logically arranged material for ease of reference
