This textbook includes exposure to plant & shop layout, industrial safety, engineering materials and their heat treatment, bench work and fitting, smithy and forging, sheet metal work, wood and wood working, foundry, welding, mechanical working and machine shop practices. A greater stress has been laid on pictorial representation of various hand tools, operators and machine tools rather than giving exhaustive write up on various topics. The matter has been presented in a structured manner and in an easy to understand language, which can be mastered easily by students of various disciplines. Attention has also been paid to the fact that the text as well as the diagrams can be easily reproduced by the students in theory examinations. The book will be useful for the students of engineering, supervisors, tool room personnel and operators working in manufacturing and other industries.
