Fagen has captured what has been absent from the literature - the history of the sounds of the industrial revolution. He has managed to give a great historical perspective of how and why these sounds evoke so much emotion. The book contains detail technical information, fun stories and is a must for the historian and whistle collector.             Mechanick Exercises1 review Joseph Moxon Astragal Pr, 1998 Not about printing This is probably a fascinating book if you're interested in how to make a sundial or lay a brick, but it's not the volume that explains printing in c17, if that's what you were looking for.             Dictionary of Woodworking Tools1 review R. A. Salaman Astragal Pr, 1997 The Definitive Tool Book Dictionary of Woodworking Tools This book is so well researched, you will never need another.

The articles are divided into ten sections: the first is a long overview of wheelmaking technologies of the time, followed by sections on the dishing of wheels, ...             Slide Rules: A Journey Through Three Centuries1 review Deter von Jezierski Astragal Pr, 2000 Slipstick history from a German Phrancophile This is a contemporary history of slide rules that emphasizes Continental influences over English and American ones, and therefore it is rather skewed. Still, Cajori's A History of the Logorithmic Slide Rule was published in 1910 and pre-dates Pickett and the explosion of engineering and industrialization which moved the slide rule from a toff's curiosity to a working engineer's sidearm, so ...             The Stanley Rule and Level Company's Combination Planes2 reviews Kenneth D.

An excellent recourse for the beginning to advanced blacksmith.             Restoring Antique Tools1 review Herbert P. Kean Astragal Pr, 2001 restoring antique tools is a very helpful book I found this book very helpful in restoring old planes. The author keeps it pretty simple.             American Wrench Makers: 1830-1930, Second Edition1 review Kenneth Cope Astragal Pr, 2002 The perfect resource Kenneth L. Cope has really outdone himself with this edition. The entire book has been revamped and reorganized, and it also includes MANY new entries. What Cope has presented us is a fascinating look into the history of this excellent tool and how it has technically advanced over the years. I was really impressed by the accuracy of which Cope dates each model. He doesn't simply include when ...             The Axe and Man1 review Charles A. Eavrin Astragal Pr, 1999 this book a good book that is perfect if you are doing a reserch project. It is good if you need information, or just something to look at.             Norris Metal Planes Astragal Pr, 1995 This catalog, a reprint of the two most important Thomas Norris catalogs, represents almost the full line of Norris planes up through the end of the 1920's. The 1914 catalog introduced the patented adjuster feature. Illustrations in the later catalog, from around the mid-1920 s, were redone to show off the adjuster feature. The Norris section from the 1938 catalog of the famous London tool merchant Buck & Ryan is also included here. As a bonus, ...             A Treasury of Fine Construction Design: 104 Detailed Plates of Early Twentieth Century Interior & Exterior ...1 review Philip G. Knobloch Astragal Pr, 1995 Good Drawings The plates in this book provide good drawings of selected architectural details. Some of the drawings and their captions no longer meet current building codes (e.g. lead paint). The organization of the book is random and there are no narrative discussions about each of the plates; just drawings.             Catalogue of Measuring Rules, Tapes, Straight Edges, and Steel Band Chains;Spirit Levels, &C.: Manufactured ...

Batory Astragal Pr, 1997 America's cast iron past.... This is a great reference for anyone interested in collecting or rehabilitating old machinery, as well as just a fascinating look into America's industrial past. The engravings are surprisingly clear and detailed, and along with the original catalog descriptions they show how machinery was back in the good old days before OSHA made them cover up all the nice moving parts. The two chapters on ...             Grimshaw on Saws Robert Grimshaw Astragal Pr, 1991 Written in 1880 by Robert Grimshaw, a founder of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, it remains the definitive work, describing and illustrating all types of saws from handsaws to the most advanced late 19th century powered production models.
