Hitchcock's Machinery and Tool Directory

Post by SteveM »

I was in an antique shop and saw a 1958 copy of Hitchcock's Machinery and Tool Directory.

Picked it up and opened to a random page, and staring back at me was my Sanford surface grinder, so I took that as an omen that I have to get the book.

Lots of interesting info and pictures of any machine from that era that you can name, and lot that you can't.
