"Screw-Thread Cutting by the Master-Screw Method since 1480" by Edwin A. Battison is a historical exploration into the mechanics of screw-thread cutting from the late 1400s to the early 1930s. It follows the path of the master-screw method, showing how it altered machine design and the world of manufacturing. The book starts with early screw-cutting lathes from the 15th century, going through the essential changes and breakthroughs over time. The author looks at the tools of the time and the people who used them, like Emanuel Wetschgi, and discusses how important these advancements were to the growth of the industry, especially during the Industrial Revolution when better screw-cutting technology was seriously needed.
