"The scarcity of the literature on Presses and Press Tools is in itself sufficient justification for the publication of these articles, which appeared originally, at intervals, in the columns of The Practical Engineer, and are now published in book form at the request of many readers. The production of tools for the working of sheet metals is a distinctly separate branch from that of engine-fitting and general machine work. It is therefore difficult for an engineer to thoroughly grasp the work of the press-tool maker, unless he has had an opportunity of closely watching the tool work in progress and the subsequent operations performed by the tools in the production of numerous articles made from sheet metals." - From the preface.
