Here's
what John Matlock from Winnemucca, NV says,
"First
some comments about the book in general. It's written by a working engineer who
has spent a lifetime actually working in the field.
He got
into working on rotating machinery with an emphasis on alignment somewhat by
accident. Then he developed his own expertise, and finally was persuaded to
publish it in book form.
This
was done in 1986. It has now been issued in its third edition that incorporates
new techniques, new tools and as he incorporates his own additional learning.
The
material covered here isn't covered in school. This is practical knowledge based
on a lifetime of working with equipment out in the real world.
The writing style
matches. Mr. Piotrowski writes as he talks, one professional with a lot of
experience talking to another who will be there one day.
Any
maintenance man working in an industrial plant will quickly recognize the
problems discussed here, and will find other nuggets of knowledge that will help
him to identify other areas where he needs to re-think about a problem." |
