There are many books on welding, all serving a purpose, unfortunately, most of these books are designed to teach a person how to weld.

After twenty-five years of reading welding books which were repeating themselves it seemed time to bring out a new kind of welding book.In this volume the author assumes that the reader has learned to weld but that occasional helps are needed. Those who do not know how to gas weld or flame cut will find that the fundamentals have been included in this volume so that they will be able to do these jobs. The experienced welder and the advanced student will find this volume to be a means of increasing their proficiency.The most valuable data is presented in Chapter 2. A series of Jiffy Welding Guides present concisely and precisely the basic data required for the oxyacetylene welding of any metal weldable by this process. A concise chart in Chapter 3 quickly aids in the selection of the proper means for the joining of dissimilar metals by the oxyacetylene process.Flame cutting is also covered without frills. Again the reader is shown the best flame cutting technique for the most efficient serving of metals. While confined to manual flame cutting, the Guides cover the flame cutting of all types of ferrous metals.In other tables and charts the author has tried to compile data to make this a most complete and compact book on the oxyacetylene welding and cutting process.
