Motivation
You need a table for standard dimension of screws, pipes or beams?? No better way to find what you want than the Baldassini! It could also be a good reason to learn italian!
Every mechanical design engineer in Italy knows that there is no better reference than this little, but very very dense, book. Written by an old school mechanical designer, the book is a compendium of table, graphs and formulas about basically every practical aspect of the mechanical design process.
I don’t have much more to say because there are not enough words to honor the memory of Luigi Baldassini. I couldn’t have a website reporting my experience as a mechanical engineer and don’t have a post about this book.
