Customer Reviews

An easy to understand, comprehensive text although dated

From a hobbyist's perspective this is a great text on precision measurement. Written in the sixties, it covers all of the now affordable tools and techniques that were once state of the art. For a student or professional however, as other reviewers mention, it does not address more contemporary tools and standards. The author writes clearly and builds each chapter in a logical way from concept to well-illustrated actual tools. If you want to have a working knowledge of verniers, micrometers, indicators, levels, surface plates, gauge blocks etc, this is the book for you.

Excellent Resource

As an ASQ certified Mechanical Inspector and Quality Technician, I would like to say that; This text is a fine resource for any person working in the metrology field. It covers a wide range of topics and is well worth having. Written in a style that is both informatve AND interesting. I was well pleased with this book.

Great book for dimensional calibration technicians

This book would be useful to any machinist, but it is specifically written for the dimensional calibration technician, a wealth of practical, useful information. Thanks.
