A description of tools, instruments, machines, processes and engineering; history of inventions; general technological vocabulary. Published in 1876 it is a great resource for those trying to figure out how things were done in the time of our great (great?) grand parents. Ilustrations,
upwards of 5000 engravings, include a ride inside
monocycle,
trestle bridges,
compound microscope,
clod crushers,
washing machines,
spoke driver,
hydraulic wagon-tipper, and a
farmers tool-house. Warning: the book has been scanned in and all the item links are to 100-150K images.
