"Screw-Thread Cutting by the Master-Screw Method since 1480" by Edwin A. Battison is a scientific publication that focuses on the history and evolution of screw-thread cutting techniques, written in the mid-20th century. The book discusses the development of the master-screw method from its inception in the late 15th century through advancements made up to the early 1930s. It serves as a detailed account of how these methods have influenced machine-tool design and
industry. In this work, Battison traces the historical advancements of screw-cutting machines, beginning with early examples like the screw-cutting lathe depicted in a 1483 drawing. He details key inventions and innovations over the centuries, analyzing their significance in the progression of mechanical engineering. The author examines specific instruments, their uses, and the craftsmen involved, including notable names like Emanuel Wetschgi. Battison also explores the relationship between the development of these tools and the expanding demands of industry, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, leading to greater sophistication in screw-cutting technology.
