There is a former owner's name (dated 1885) on endpaper. read more
"A very interesting source of ideas for mechanical devices and movements. This is how the industrial world worked before the servo and solenoid, before the microcontroller and transistor. Its really amazing how inventive people were with machines to perform tasks we now take for granted."
"I've bought this book three times- twice as modern reproductions (lost my first copy in the Pittsburgh-SF move) and once as an 1870s edition. Love love love this book. Great source of inspiration/ideas"
