A classic model engineering workshop manual describing construction of the "Pillartool" — a combined precision tapping machine, small-hole drilling machine, and staking tool for horological and model work. Written by respected model engineer George H. Thomas (author of the celebrated Model Engineer's Workshop Manual), this is the first of his three related workshop books, with full instructions, dimensioned drawings, and photos of set-ups and work in progress. Highly regarded reference among clockmakers, horologists, and model engineers.

Condition: A well-used softcover copy showing genuine workshop wear consistent with its practical use as a reference manual — corner creasing to the front cover, edge and spine wear, and general handling marks. Text block and drawings are clean and intact throughout, with a period vintage photograph and ruler included in the listing photos for scale reference (not part of the book).
