They speak for themselves. Love the ICS Shop And Foundry Practice can't bring myself to recover the originals.

If that's the rule we better carry on CB :lol:
I will have to look out for a set of "cyclopedia of modern shop practices" :thumbup:
I do like the ICS books , yours are not so bad probably the right decision to leave them as they are :med:
Mine
I was wondering when Mr Hasluck was going to show up .
And I do like the floppy leather covers of the American Technical Society and Audels
I have two sets of Audels Engineering & Mechanical Guide , both in cracking condition for being very nearly 100 years old ,I am willing to trade one set if anyone is interested .
I have two sets of above , second set spine artwork detached on a few of them .

It is a huge pity that the movie industry pushing for 'author plus 70' years is ruining any chance of the knowledge in these great books being available to the rest of us. While copies are occasionally for sale, they are for the most part lost to the world.
Thank you for sharing the pdf file.

Hello
Your welcome GERRITV. Copyright law can be a deep discussion. Internet Archive is doing great things but for over a decade and a half they have been limited to mostly pre 1915-1920 titles hope their allowed to advance into the 20's and 30's. I know there was a lot of great engineering stuff published in the 30's.
Hi again Rob. Love your ICS's great original condition. I like most of what Hasluck put out. I have a few of his originals and some reprints like Lindsay's hardcover
"Metalwork". Your Cyclopedia Of Engineering is nothing short of beautiful, your heart must have skipped a beat when you found that one. :thumbup: :thumbup: I have some of the newer Audel sets but only the occassional older title.
Here are a couple more. The Amateur Mechanic is more home based than industrial very hands on diy interesting.
Cheers :beer:

Hi CB
I really like you collection of books , Build your own combat robot :bugeye: , any chance of a shot of the chapter page of the electric motor repair book please .
Every well equipped home library should have a copy of "Metalworking " ,mine is a reprint and Machine tool reconditioning , a recent addition to my library :thumbup:
One of my best collections is my Institute of mechanical engineers 1859 - 1899 :) they have been rebound (not by me) as the original binding was not the best .
Original binding on the right
A great resource for engineering history , hows this for a line up .
If Carling did engineering teams :lol: :lol: :beer:
A few shots of things within
Engines,machine tools , armaments,hydraulic machinery,foundry ,metallurgy the list is endless

Hello Rob
Your collection of Institute of Mechanical Engineers volumes looks fantastic. Beautifly illustrated, that seems to be hard to find pre about 1870 when they were few and usually at the back of the book. I do not own any but have downloaded some from the internet. Just the kind of thing I like to browse through on a cold winter night nursing a glass of the old captain's private stock in front of a warm fire. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Electric Motor Repair you caught that ay. Very nice hands on book still new enough to be usefull in the shop. Really 2 volumes in one, spiral bound. The left hand section has 243 pages of wiring and winding diagrams and 32 pages of study Questions.
Cheers
CB
