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. Hitchcock's Machinery and Tool Directory
