Metal Spinning
by C. Tuells, William A. Painter
About the author
C. Tuells is credited as the coauthor, with William A. Painter, of Metal Spinning, a practical guide to shaping sheet metal on the lathe. The book was preserved by Project Gutenberg, where it appears as a technical manual aimed at people learning or using the process in real manufacturing work.
Very little biographical information about Tuells could be confirmed from reliable online sources available here. No clear personal profile, dates, or broader bibliography turned up beyond author listings and editions tied to Metal Spinning, so it is safest to treat C. Tuells as a little-documented technical author whose known legacy rests mainly on that specialized manual.
Even so, the work remains interesting for modern readers because it captures a trade skill in plain, usable language. Rather than presenting theory alone, it reflects the practical, problem-solving spirit of early industrial instruction.
