This booklet has been compiled with the object of summarizing the more familiar troubles experienced with automatics, and their remedies. Although they primarily relate to Brown & Sharpe automatics, the details will prove of assistance in connection with various other types of single-spindle machines, multi-spindle machines and capstan lathes.

The information covers practically every type of tooling trouble that is met with, and the tables, and more particularly the charts relating to speeds and feeds and cutting lubricants, are the summary of years of experience under practical working conditions.
