Default Book on early machine tools

A further item from my collection : -

MACHINE TOOLS - COMMONLY EMPLOYED IN MODERN ENGINEERING WORKSHOPS .

by JAMES WEIR FRENCH - pub . GRESHAM PUBLISHING CO . 1911

VOLUME 1 ONLY .

170 pages , 221 illustrations and diagrams + 4 coloured sectional models of lathes, boring machines, etc showing their construction.

This is large book, approx 14`` x 10`` , well illustrated with examples of the types of machine tools in use pre WW1.

Interesting to see what would have been used to manufacture our engines.

This is in really nice condition externally and internally . Quite a rare item

£ 35 .00 ONO + POSTAGE or collect Bridgnorth.
