This fundamental four-volume work was written by scientists and specialists on the teaching staff of the Machine Tool Engineering Institute in Moscow. The editor, Prof. N. Acherkan, D.Sc. (Eng.), is an eminent Soviet specialist in machine tool design and the author of over fifty scientific works and textbooks in this field.
Prof. Acherkan holds the title of Honoured Scientist of the Russian Federation and has occupied the chair of Machine Tool Design for 35 years.
Prof. Acherkan graduated from the Warsaw university in 1914, where he majored in mathematics. He received a gold medal for work done in the university.
In 1920 he received a second degree from the mechanical engineering department of the Petrograd Polytechnical Institute.
The present work was translated from the considerably revised and recently published second edition which includes all the latest achievements in world machine tool prac-tice. The earlier edition has become an indispensable handbook for Soviet designers.
Therefore, the publishers feel that this work should be of great value to engineers engaged in the design, manufacture and maintenance of machine tool equipment.
It can also be used to advantage by the students of engineering institutes majoring in Process Engineering, Metal-Cutting Machine Tools or Cutting Tool Design.
