A good primer for basic mechanical engineering principles. Useful for the home machinist / foundry man or inventor. Covers basic things to avoid, like where stress points occur and hole locations relative to casting features.

An unusual book that seems older than the 1906 date; it is largely about steam engines---but has good comments about other machines also.
