Description
Original 1960 hardcover edition of Vacuum Processes in Metalworking by J. Wesley Cable, published by Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York. This is a specialized mid-century engineering and metallurgy reference covering vacuum technology in industrial metalworking, a subject that became increasingly important in advanced manufacturing during the postwar period.
This is the kind of technical book that appeals to a focused niche of buyers, including metallurgy specialists, engineers, industrial history collectors, and collectors of scientific and technical books. It is especially desirable as an original Reinhold edition rather than one of the later modern reprints.
