Since 1924, the Handbook has been revised on a regular basis, usually on a four-year cycle (approximately coinciding with the rate at which significant technical developments occur in metalworking). By following practical techniques explained in the Guide and cross-referenced to the Handbook, readers will enhance their ability to reach specific information and solutions more quickly and easily. Densities of materials, volume formulae, trigonometry, gearing application and hundreds of other subjects were used during these years. The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster.Developing, building, and improving machines, mechanisms, and processes with practical advice was an early recurrent theme.
