Product Description
Product Description
Patterned after volumes in McGraw-Hill's "Time-Saver Standards" series in the architecture program (and Wiley's "Architectural Graphic Standards") and vastly expanding the range of the best-selling "Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook" by Chironis, this major new handbook presents a full array of key machine elements used in a wide range of applications. Filled with thousands of illustrations, it provides a quick-look-up resource of pictorial detail (worth many pages of text) for the busy engineer looking for the right device for the right application all systematically organized for easy access.

The jewel of my professional library
11 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
I can't thank the author enough for the Illustrated Sourcebook of Mechanical Components. It is as interesting to study as any book I've seen in a long, long time. It is as engrossing as a crossword puzzle can sometimes be. My observation is that the sourcebook presents an almost limitless smorgasbord of engineering examples and principles seasoned with a unique sauce of tinkerer's ingenuity and common sense. Thanks again for the Illustrated Sourcebook of Mechanical Components. It will be the jewel of my professional library.

An excellent resource
14 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
I am an ME for a company which builds CNC's, and like the book very much. The illustrations show each idea without exraneous parts, and the accompanying explanations are very clear. It also has tables and equations to lay out some of the mechanisms. It is an excellent idea jogger and has good entertainment value for people who are mechanically inclined.

Just the right book for a mechanical engineer
30 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
I'm a senior in mechanical engineering and I've found this book so compact and informative that it should be a piece of every mechanial engineers own library. It contains brief-but understandable and also illustrated passages about nearly every mechanical component that one can encounter.
