How Products Are Made. An Illustrated Guide to Product Manufacturing

Kristine Krapp0787615471, 9780787615475

In addition to being a guide to the manufacture of more than 100 products, this first volume in a new series devotes roughly equal space to a variety of nonmanufacturing information. A new volume will be published every two years. The eclectic roster of products examined ranges from air bags, aluminum foil, artificial limbs, and aspirin to zippers and zirconium. Included are retail goods as well as intermediate goods used in the manufacture of other products.
