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!
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!
