i figure everyone should have a hard copy, but perhaps there are a few that don't as of yet
having the link makes it easy to refer to while doing other research online at the very least.
btw the current edition is about 80 bucks retail these days,

Just for the tinkerers, they are indispensable, and the basics don't change a lot. My Machinery's Handbook is a 1953 model.
Well, it matches all my other old stuff.

mine is an 11th edition, 1941 copyright
i guess that is what we yanks would call prewar?

your right Bob, 'cause everyone else was at war at that time. Oh & my copy is mid 40's.

My other collection is Machinery's handbooks...I have a 5th 11th 13th 15th and a 22nd I use at work. They have a lot of reapeat info but if you need some blacksmith or boiler info the early ones have it in them....
