Early in my stint here, I called Alan Baker, founder of toolmaker A.B. Tools Inc., in connection with an article I was writing about thread milling small-diameter holes. I started the interview with a general question about available thread mills sizes for these applications and was encouraged to first gather that information from Machinery's Handbook and then call him back. I thanked him before ending the call and turning to the appropriate section of "The Bible of the Mechanical Industries," published by Industrial Press Inc.
