Bearings
Alex Weiss
Every working model includes bearings, often a large number of them. This practical book describes the wide and diverse range of bearings found in the large variety of different types of models built in home workshops. It reviews the choice of bearings materials, the type of bearing to use for each particular application and highlights the differences between home-made and off-the-shelf bearings. It also considers the installation and care of bearings. Furthermore, it also covers several full-size applications undertaken by model engineers, such as clock making and machine tool maintenance, which also call for some knowledge of bearings.

BENT IRON WORK
by Hasluck
This appeared in 1903 – four years before Hasluck’s “Metal Working” described elsewhere in this list. Some of this material is included in “Metal Working”, but you get much more. Consider bent iron work. You don’t need heat, but you do need a bench anvil, hammers, pliers, and other sturdy tools to turn iron strap into fancy lamp brackets, candlestick brackets, grills, fire screens and much more. Fastening is done with simple clamps and rivets. Chapters include tools and materials; bending and working strip iron; simple exercises in bent iron. And the projects he shows are British! You’ll see drawings of grills and screens from Winchester and Chichester Cathedrals, and Westminster Abbey. Classic, beautiful stuff. Profusely illustrated. 160 pages. Paperback

BUILD A PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING ATTACHMENT FOR A DRILL PRESS
by Gingery
What Vince Gingery has designed here is, effectively, a Plastic Injection Molding Machine which takes the molds, melts the plastic and contains the piston to force the liquid into the mold, but which hasn’t any built in method of applying force to the piston - this comes from a drilling machine. This set up will mold 0.59 ozs of plastic, needs a drill with a minimum spindle travel of 3” and, as the unit itself is approximately 12” long, needs a drill where at least that distance can be created between the end of the chuck, and the drill’s table. 48 page booklet illustrated with full drawings and photos.

METAL FINISHING TECHNIQUES
by Alex Weiss
Metal Finishing Techniques describes the many varied processes that need to be undertaken once drilling, turning and milling parts for a model or fullsize creation are complete. It looks first at what can be achieved by grinding, sanding, buffing and polishing, and how to accomplish these tasks. It then considers in detail methods of obtaining quality fits between metal parts by honing, lapping, reaming, broaching and scraping. A number of baremetal finishing methods are explained including burnishing, planishing, knurling and obtaining a brushed finish. More decorative results are also described such as etching, engraving and chasing. The book continues by illustrating a range of processes that provide colouredmetal finishes like blacking and anodising.
