Title: Explains universal mechanical principles to the layman.
Product review: I read this book 25 years ago when I was a fledgling truck mechanic, and I found it to be a comprehensive, useful guide to all things mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, etc. It is a must for someone wanting to have a basic understanding of these principles, and how to apply them to cars, trucks, tractors, welders, air compressors, pumps, etc. Separate chapters on Disassembly and Assembly, discussing methods of work; a chapter on The Inclined Plane, and relating this principle to ramps, screw threads, gears and leverage, and the angle of a bulldozers blade; a chapter on Lubrication, with a cartoon drawing of an old neglected bulldozer sitting in the field, covered with cobwebs and dust, a cat resting on the hood, and the caption, "bearings are probably rusting." This book should be in every mechanics library.
