Excerpt from Modern Milling Machines: Their Design, Construction, and Working; A Handbook for Practical Men and Engineering Students The present period is one of growing specialisation in Technical Literature, as in Manufacturing. The books which give a general treatment of a particular subject appeal less to practical men than to students and amateurs. No apology, therefore, is necessary for issuing a work which treats of a single department of machine-shop practice, and one of great and growing importance. Its scope is very broad, as a perusal of the contents of this work will show. Milling machines have become highly specialised, and the work of milling is now subdivided between different groups of hands just as that of turning is, ranging from very plain to very difficult work.
