Review: Easy to understand little book, very useful. - This is a great little book. It is just what I was looking for. I needed a book that covered the basics of pulleys, hydraulics, gears, etc. This covers it all in a very easy to understand manner. I was glad to get it and I have used it a lot.
Review: Great book for the curious - It appears a lot of the contents in this book were barrowed from older Navy training manuals. I would suspect in response to the outbreak of WWII when we needed a lot of everything quickly not to mention trained personnel to operate, maintain and repair the ships, aircraft and myriad of associated equipment. This book presents solid basics every mechanic, builder or operator, no matter their experience level can use to learn how to do their job better. In 2017 this book would be excellent for new DIYers and "old hands". to learn or re-learn the basics of how things work. I have over 20 years of experience as an aircraft mechanic in the military and in the first few minutes of perusing this book I learned something new. This an excellent reference book for anybody owning and maintaining a house or vehicle.
