Vintage manual M-737-6 dated 1948 shows some wear but overall very good for an instruction book this age. Minor soiling but not anything unusual for this type of instruction book.

Milling Machine Work Shop Series by Delmar Publishers Type of Manual: Instructional For Models: Horizontal Milling Machines Description: This manual was used in New York schools for the teaching of working with horizontal Milling Machines in the 1940’s for the war effort. It is an excellent manual for both the beginner and the experienced machinist. This manual is geared mostly for the horizontal mill, but is also usefull for the vertical mill. I have listed the index pages above so you can get an idea of what all is in the manual. It covers the Description of the milling machine, Accessories, Milling Cutters, Milling Operations, Lubrications, and much more. The manual has about 312 pages. To view the Table of Contents, to inspect the quality of the manual, and to view select pages, please click on the gallery images above.

About this manual: This is a high quality reproduction manual which has been scanned with a high resolution scanner. Each page is then digitally edited in Photoshop to remove grease marks, fingerprints, writing, and other imperfections that the original manual may have had. It is then printed on 24 lb heavy paper and 65 lb cardstock for the covers with a 600 DPI LaserJet printer. The result is a clean and durable manual which many times is better than the original and should last many years in your shop.

I noticed the Okuma name appears right on the spine, so it stands out on the shelf without being flashy.
