Thread: One for Wongo

.

The engineers black book, compiled by pat rapp and published by sutton tools (p&n) is what you are after, now in second edition with more stuff

All sorts of fitter & turnery stuff, metric to imperial ( decimal / fractional ) and guage comparison tables, drilling & tapping of even the weirdest threads, all sorts of geometric stuff and the pages are plastic coated. and it is pocket sized.
I got mine off the counter at the funny little bolt shop in the old post office on evans rd salisbury.
I've been meaning to try chasing a supply of them.
Hair & forbes have a similar one that I havn't looked at

cheers

There used to be such a publication calle "Lysaught's Referee" put out by the mob that made corrugated iron etc. Don't know if it's still on the shelves.

Just tools have that book
