For years, companies have rewarded their most effective engineers with management positions. But treating management as the default path for an engineer with leadership ability doesn't serve the industry well--or the engineer. The staff engineer's path allows engineers to contribute at a high level as role models, driving big projects, determining technical strategy, and raising everyone's skills. This in-depth book shows you how to understand your...

Scenic effects involving rotating turntables, tracking stage wagons, and the vertical movement of curtains and painted drops have become common in both Broadway and Regional theatre productions. The machines that drive these effects range from small pneumatic cylinders pushing loads of a few pounds an inch or two, to 40 horsepower winches running multi-ton scenery at speeds 6 feet per second or more. Usually this machinery is designed by theatre technicians...

"Design of Mechanical Elements provides a basic introduction to mechanical design considerations and calculations without overwhelming students with extraneous information. Developed for readers who are encountering the topic for the first time, the book is divided into three parts: the first covers basic design techniques and concepts such as material selection, statistical considerations, tolerances, and safety factors; the second part covers the...
