Franklin D. Jones
Franklin Day Jones (1879–1967) was an author in mechanical engineering and toolmaking.[1] He wrote the first edition of Machinery's Handbook (1914, Industrial Press), with engineer Erik Oberg. Jones's writings emphasized the importance of relating theories of mechanics to practical applications.[2]
Theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler recalled being influenced by Jones's work at an early age.[2]
