The same info can also be found in the Machinist Handbook; A very useful resource to have. If you find an old one at a garage sale, and you don't already have one, snap it up!

That's funny you should mention that. I have a two volume "Machining Data Handbook" three feet to my left. Never even thought of looking in it. :phew:

I got a machinist handbook off ebay for under $10 shipped. It's a 1950s edition but all the manual stuff is the same
 
There is no such thing a stupid question. Answers now, come in all varieties :winner:
 
This just jogged my memory. Taught to me by an old tool maker back when Hector was a pup.
If you don't happen to have a size chart handy and need to know the major dia. of a number screw size, multiply the no. size by 13 and add 60. ex. 10x13 = 130 + 60 = 190. Just add the decimal point.
Try it. Comes in handy sometimes.

Another great source of info for charts, feeds, and speed type of info id the Machineries Handbook series. I think it is in revision 29 or 30 but the old 15 and 16's all have what you need and can be had for a song. I can also upload a copy in PDF of the 27th edition I think, but it is good to have a paper copy to refer to when dooing stuff in the shop. Pm me if you would like for me to upload you a copy. It is a big file since the book is like 1400 pages long.
