Summary

This book reflects the recent shift in industry that finds companies consolidating employees from multiple tradessuch as electricians, mechanics, pipe fitters, and hydraulic techniciansinto a single position deemed "mechanic."Specifically designed to meet this change and prepare students for the new job classification, it provides an integrated presentation of the tools and techniques for troubleshooting electrical systems, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and mechanical systems of modern machines.
