Summary "Oxy-Acetylene Welding Manual" by Lt. Lorn Campbell, Jr., is a technical manual written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide for beginners in the field of oxy-acetylene welding, aiming to standardize the teaching method for both instructors and students. Its primary focus is on the principles, apparatus, and practices related to welding and cutting metals using the oxy-acetylene method, illustrating both the theoretical underpinnings and practical techniques involved. The opening of the manual sets the stage by highlighting the increased demand for skilled operators in oxy-acetylene welding, especially in response to its applications during and after the World War. Campbell discusses the significance of valuing structured instruction for beginners and points out that previous literature often catered to advanced practitioners rather than novices. He emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to teaching this craft, outlining how the manual will address fundamental concepts and operational procedures to prepare students for practical work in the field. The preface establishes a clear intention to make the manual an essential resource for welding education, guiding the reader towards proficient operation of welding equipment and methods.
