For those into OLD Machines / Tools

[twertsy]

I found this during a recent research activity. Thought some here might enjoy tool makers history going back into the 1700's. This book was published in 1916 and is available digitally for free via google books. Some really good history on who made what, who started what companies, where else they worked, what company bought other companies, etc.

Enjoy!
