The Model Engineers Lathe Manual by E.T. Westbury

Pages 155

The late Edgar Westbury first major book on lathes was the ME Lathe Manual published in 1951.

This was subsequently revised and titled Metal Turning Lathes and in reprinting the work we have reverted to the original title since this more accurately reflects the use today of the size and type of machinery described therein.
