A Treatise on Gear Wheels by George Grant (USED)
Original price was: $24.50.$15.00Current price is: $15.00.To most mechanics a gear is a gear. And, in fact, the gear is often a gear and nothing more, sometimes barely that.
But, if the mechanic will look beyond the tips of his fingers, he will find that it can be something more; that it is one of the most interesting objects in the field of science research, and not the simplest one; that it has received the attention of may celebrated mathematicians and engineers; and that the study of its features will not only add to his practical knowledge, but also to his entertainment. There is an element in mathematics, and in its near relative, theoretical mechanics, that possesses an educating and disciplining value beyond any capacity for earning present money. The thinking, inquisitive student of the day is the successful engineer or manufacturer of the future.
The book is filled with wonderful turn of the century illustrations of gear wheels and gear cutting of every description.
Reprinted by Lindsay Publications in 1986.

This practical and supremely useful manual is the first comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Japanese ceramics. The Japanese ceramics tradition is without compare in its technical and stylistic diversity, its expressive content, and the level of appreciation it enjoys, both in Japan and around the world. Inside Japanese Ceramics focuses on tools, materials, and procedures, and how all of these have influenced the way traditional Japanese ceramics look and feel. A true primer, it concentrates on the basics: setting up a workshop, pot-forming techniques, decoration, glazes, and kilns and firing. It introduces the major methods and styles that are taught in most Japanese workshops, including several representative and well-known wares: Bizen, Mino, Karatsu, Hagi, and Kyoto.

Objets utilitaires et pièces somptueuses, les faïences au fil des siècles racontent des histoires, suscitent la curiosité, étonnent parfois par leur simplicité. Les courants stylistiques se propagent, se croisent, s’influencent tour à tour. Le va-et-vient des artistes contribue aux échanges, aux interprétations, à la naissance de caractéristiques locales. De part et d’autre du Rhône et de la Loire. Lyon et Nevers diffusent leur héritage. Roanne, Moulins, Clermont-Ferrand, le Dauphiné, la Savoie, la Bourgogne auxerroise en ont été les heureux bénéficiaires.
