About this product

Product Information

Once again, Ken Cope has produced a major new reference work that broadens our range of understanding of the history of technological innovation. This is the first book to identify American lathe builders operating throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Written in the style of the author's previous groundbreaking books on the machine tool industry, this encyclopedic volume provides the collector, user, and researcher with invaluable information on over 330 lathe builders, many of whom have previously gone unrecognized by researchers. More than a thousand illustrations, taken from original catalogs and periodicals, trace the development of the American metal cutting lathe from the crude, handbuilt models of the early 19th century to the fast, powerful models introduced in the early 20th century for use with high speed steel cutting tools. Dozens of early lathe accessories, such as gear-cutting attachments, are also identified and illustrated for the first time. In addition, the book contains a glossary of terms used in describing the various lathes

  • Excellent Guide!

    This book is an excellent visual catalog of early American lathe machinery with lots of pictures, mostly engravings and some adds of the time. The reader will find here many interesting lathe designs for different purpose on the trade. I never imagined that there were so many brand names in the American lathe heritage. Nevertheless, don't expect a dense historic narrative, each manufacturer is dedicated only a small descriptive entry, with the exception of a few very famous and significant ones. Overall, great book, if you like machinery history, antique machinery, etc..., this book is a must have!

  • American Lathe Builders by Kenneth L. Cope

    This is an excelent book for anyone interested in vintage machine tools. It is in my opinion one of the most complete books ever published on vintage lathe makers. Lots of fut to thumb thru!
