Just to remind me to sort out supplies for the MH before the rally season, SWMBO bought me a new towel.
Wish my engine was this clean.

I got a copy of Machine Tools by the Gresham Publishing company from 1911, its a 2 Volume book with over 350 pages that are approx 16" x 12" and shows machine tools that could be found in modern machine shops from the period.
and there are some fold out picture of machine tools including :-
a radial drill
a lathe
a turret lathe
and a double headed shaper
and the rest of the pages are like this
to be continued.........

off ebay £6.99 plus postage.......the they were sold as being water damaged, but its only one of the overs that are. and think rather than sitting on a shelf at my house collecting dust they would be better off being appreciated in the library of the musuem that I volunteer at...... easy come easy go as they say

If I ever saw one that was really damaged I’d be having the plates out and framing them.View attachment 333159

They are the kind of things you'd flick through occasionally.
Personally, I'd have photocopied some choice bits, and frame them.
Don't suppose you have access to an A3 scanner.
Be lovely to scan and share.
Some years ago I was at a car boot over here and bought a load of A3 drawings of old machinery, chain making machines amongst others, they'll get framed... One day...

I like those sort of drawings. I’ve got a couple of bridge ones to frame when this place is finished

Right there with you, sod nudes, and 'art'.
Excrement happens.
What were they trying to fit?

I have those, they are excellent books. They also made a volume of heat engines. Well worth seeking out.

Depends, some nude females are best not looked at.

Nice lump of tool steel. Marked G Soutar & Co, Sheffield. Speedwell Hyper.
Not sure what hyper means in this context but it was in a bucket of very rusty tools and has no rust on it. Why is it so shiny?

That brings back memories, using one of those as an apprentice, nearly 50 years ago. As said when we had well made equipment, not the modern carp around these days.
