Mensuration for Sheet Metal Workers - As Applied in Working Ordinary Problems in Shop Practice

This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to the problems of geometry and measurement encountered by sheet metal workers. It comprises a series of examples that show the working out of the circumferences, areas, and capacities for various shapes-an exercise that is intended to enable the student to deal with any ordinary problem that may arise in the workshop. Contents include: "e;Length of Material Required for a Round Pipe"e;, "e;Amount of Material for a Square Pipe"e;, "e;Length of Perimeter of a Hexagon"e;, "e;Square and Circular Sections of Pipe of given Dimensions"e;, "e;Length of Side of a Square to be Enclosed by a Given Circle"e;, "e;Length of Arc when Angle and Radius are Known"e;, "e;Amount of Material for an Ellipse when Length and Width are Given"e;, et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on metal work. This book was first published in 1913.
