Shopwork on the Farm by Mack Jones McGraw Hill 1955 2nd Edition
Title: Shopwork on the Farm
Author: Mack Jones
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: McGraw Hill 1955
Edition: 2nd Edition
LCCN: 54-10639
Size: 6.25 X 9.5 X 1.25 * 626 pages
Synopsis: ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Thirty-five years of experience as a teacher of farm shopwork qualifies Mack M. Jones as an expert on the subject. He grew up on a farm in Oklahoma, where as a young man he spent considerable time operating, maintaining, and repairing farm machinery and equipment.
Mack Jones joined the staff of the University of Missouri as an instructor in 1919 and soon after he was given charge of courses in farm shopwork and in farm power and machinery. He later became a professor and chairman of the Department of Agricultural Engineering.
Over the years he has trained hundreds of practical farmers and vocational agriculture teachers in farm shopwork. Indirectly through his well- illustrated and well-written books he has instructed thousands of students and farmers throughout the country.
Professor Jones is an ardent amateur photographer. His hobby not only gives him personal pleasure, but helps him in gathering and developing illustrations for use in his classes and his books. Most of the drawings in this book were developed from pictures which he took.
From the Preface: SHOPWORK ON THE FARM was originally prepared to serve as a text and reference book for students of agriculture, farmers, and teachers. This revised edition continues and extends that same objective. It deals simply and directly with tools, materials, operations, and processes or activities, rather than with specific jobs or projects. It can be used, therefore, with any mechanical jobs or projects that suit individual abilities and needs. These may be related to the home, the farm, the school, or the student's special agricultural interests.
Emphasis throughout is placed on correct methods, together with the underlying reasons, or the why. Only by understanding the why can a learner master a subject or use acquired knowledge effectively in the solution of his own problems.
Many new illustrations have been added; others have been replaced with more up-to-date representations. All of them show methods of using tools and performing basic shop operations; often the illustrations re-emphasize in picture form the explanations given in words. Summaries of hints and practical pointers are included on various topics such as sharpening saws, hack sawing, drilling in metal, and welding. Considerable new material has been added on the subject of welding.
Satisfactory achievement in shopwork calls for reading and study on the part of the student, in addition to manual work and skill development. Much assistance is available in these pages that will help to answer mechanical questions and solve difficulties as they may arise. Consulting this book is a means of self-help which develops resourcefulness and self- confidence in the individual. Shopwork on the Farm thus supplements the work of the instructor and constitutes an invaluable teaching aid.
This book is not only of value in both high-school and college classes but should also find its way into the home libraries of farmers of all ages.
