MRL Handbook No. 12

Workbench Tips
From the contents listed below - you can see this handbook
covers the subject quite thoroughly.
Most service manuals go into details about methods. Few of
them dwell on a real handy workbench
that you'll use for years, whether as a serviceman or as a hobbyist. It takes
years of experience for
one to find what to include and what to eliminate. In fact, we wish ours was
the same, in all details,
as the one described.
This handbook describes, from practical experience, about
going into servicing on a small scale; shop
layout, business hints, etc. How to build the bench yourself, from the bottom
up.
Simple testing equipment, you can build - and how it is
used.
Lots of shop machine data you never saw before.
Build it up and get going!!!!
