Generously illustrated
with hundreds of drawings and explaining the language of geometric
symbology to clarify technical points, Measurement of Geometric
Tolerances in Manufacturing is a practical guide for mechanical,
manufacturing, design, quality control, project, process, industrial
automation, automotive, and aerospace engineers and managers;
metrologists; draftspersons; and upper-level undergraduate,
graduate, and continuing education students in these disciplines.
James D. Meadows has
written some of the wonderful (and real) stories he tells in his
training sessions to illustrate technical points and clarify
concepts...you'll discover that learning really can be
"entertaining".
