Instruction in practical household technology, first published in 1914. 60 black-and-white illustrations. "In language which every boy can understand and so arranged the he may readily carry out any work form the instructions given...This book takes the beginner through a comprehensive series of practical shop work, in which the uses of tools, and the structure and handling of shop machinery are set forth; how they are utilized to perform the work, and the manner in which all dimensional work is carried out. Every subject is illustrated, and model building explained. It contains a glossary which comprises a new system of cross references, a feature that will prove a welcome departure in explaining subjects."
