Book Description
Cyclopaedia of Mechanics is a 1900 work by Australian writer Paul Hasluck. It contains a wealth of information on the subject of mechanics, from 'recipes' and instructions to general tips and explanations. Including over 1,200 illustrations and a wealth of expert knowledge, this volume would make for a perfect introduction or reference book for more experienced engineers and mechanics. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an Australian engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning (1881), The Watch-Jobber's Handy Book (1887), and Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them (1887). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
