Excerpt from Home Instruction for Sheet Metal Workers To make it easier for the reader to follow out the details of the more complex drawings, large folders have been added to the book, which are bound separate in handy reference form. These enable him to follow out the smallest details with greater ease than if these drawings were reduced to page size and printed in the book. Important features in the book are the chapters on skylight and louvre work, the subject being covered completely, including flat, hipped and pitched skylights, stationary and movable louvres, turret sash, gearing, etc. The student will find this work of especial interest, because it is a branch of the sheet metal trade which requires, in addition to skilful workmanship, considerable constructive knowledge. The practical problems throughout the book have been arranged in sequential order according to their difficulty, and while each problem is complete in itself, some are necessarily carried farther into detail than others. References are made from one problem to another, pointing out the similarity of methods employed or of principle used.
