I've worked in mechanical design for almost 20 years now and _Machine Design_ by Robert H. Creamer is the best single volume on the subject that I have ever found. It gives you a comprehensive and practical grounding in all aspects of designing machines. Covered are Mechanics and Strength of Materials; Friction and Lubrication; Bearings; Shaft Design; Fasteners, Couplings, Keys, Retaining Rings, Welding, and Weld Design; Belting; Chain Drives, Hoists, and Conveyors, Ropes; Brakes; Clutches; Power Screws; Gears; Cams; Spring Design; Flywheels; Power Units; etc. Plus, there are some extremely useful tables in the back for material properties, gages, alloys, conversions, formulas, etc.
I've used this text while working on everything including molds, fixtures, automotive, machine tools, food processing equipment, quarrying equipment, paper making equipment, water treatment equipment, packaging equipment, conveyors, etc. I would no more think of going out on a job without my Creamer than I would think of leaving my _Machinery's Handbook_ behind- it is a true classic in the field.

This book contains may errors in the equations presented. Many of the answers in back of the book are incorrect. Problems lack needed illustrations. No solutions manual is available. Many formulas presented require specific systems of units.

I used this text to teach a machine design class a community college. I has many errors in equations presented as well as in the answers presented in the back of the book. Problems are presented without any illustrations were needed.
