Laboratory arts: A teacher's handbook dealing with materials and tools used in the construction, adjustment, and repair of scientific instruments

This book is intended for the teacher who is more or less in charge of the apparatus he uses. The necessity for ability and skill in repairing or readjusting instruments of all kinds is evident to any science teacher who has conducted a year's experimental work; and it is hoped that sufficient information and instruction are contained in the following pages to enable a teacher not only to acquire this necessary skill, but to turn it to account in the making of simple laboratory apparatus, and in the construction of new forms of apparatus and teaching devices.
