I have used this site often when looking for information but after receiving an e-mqil qabout a book review on a book by Robert Smith went again to the site and searched by quthor for the above author. This site is incredible with the information available, most any machine work book that isw old and out of copyright is there to download, read online or print. I need to buy a KINDLE or equivalent to maximize my usage of this site. Google INTERNET ARCHIVE and search for advanced machine practices. Robert Smith wrote 3 excellent books covering almost all we hobby machinests will ever need to know. n Hope someone else besides myself finds the site valuable. tom
I tried Tom but I must have buggered it up somehow and didn't come up with anything even machining related?

archive.org when the site comes up it is followed bu /index.php in blue on my computer.
Did you find it steve????? any comments, all the old machine shop treasure trove of books are there also lots of others that even your xyl and kids should be interested in even old classical novelss etc. tom
I believe that is the same book ED open library is also a good site that I often use but I seem to find more on Archive.org. tom
http://archive.org/index.php this is the link to the site that I have in my bookmarks it gets me there every time. Let me know if you find it and you find anything of use to you. tom

I found a pretty good video on heat treating. It's a little dry but quite informative.

Willie,
If you look on the upper tool bar, you'll see buttons for "Web", "Moving Images", "Text", etc. Just click on one of those and enter your search terms. I've used this site before and there is a ton of info available. Thanks Tom!
