Having a bit of an interest in old machine
tools, I thought
others
might wish to browse the machine tools of yesteryear.
I've
put a few pages together, illustrating assorted machine
tools
from the 1880s, most have come from various catalogues
of
the era.
That
I started at that period, is just happenstance.
I will be adding data before and after over time.
That I may list a date alongside a machine tool, is only
indicative
of the year of the relevant catalogue. Machine tool
makers
have never been in the practice of yearly change so
machines
can be listed for more than a decade unchanged.
If
I can date with certainty, I'll indicate as such...
I've tried to keep the images to a size that allows
reasonable
access speed yet retain detail.
As time allows, I will be adding to the files as well as
providing
notes about the various makers.
Any
comments or inquiries, please mail me via the link below....
Thanks
