I have not yet found any reasonably up-to-date reference books on precision mechanics for camera repairers.
However, in my opinion, Machinery's Handbook covers much—if not all—of what there is to know about this subject from a basic and general mechanical perspective. Even though camera technology is not the subject here.
It is also a reference for technical terms, as it is not always possible to correctly name a specific mechanical part.
Information from the publisher:
Since the first edition published more than 100 years ago, Machinery’s Handbook has been the most popular engineering resource of all time. Universally considered the principal reference in the manufacturing and mechanical industries, the Handbook is the ultimate collection of essential, critical information needed by engineers, designers, drafters, metalworkers, toolmakers, machinists, educators, students, and serious home hobbyists. From engineering and design departments, machine and metalworking shops, and a wide range of manufacturing and industrial facilities, to countless classrooms and workshops around the globe, this 32nd Edition of the Machinery’s Handbook is the must-have technical reference.
Available in different editions at different prices.
