One must remember.
The best learning experiences come
from working with the older Masters.

There's a lot of public domain books out there that are perfectly relevant to what many of us do.
We hand crank dials on old machines using high-speed steel.
That's what's in a lot of these books.
And you can, ironically, download them to your 21st century Kindle.

You are correct, and also in many other media's.
Just make sure the books, pic's, and/or info etc.,
are no longer in copyright. it's not that hard to
check out.
The really cool thing is that, many of these old
Tips/Tricks/and Skills are no longer taught or
spoke of in our trade schools, and thats why
making these available for reference is so important.

It's fascinating to see how they got around difficult machining jobs back then - they couldn't throw money at the problem, because they didn't have any, and they couldn't throw carbide inserts and CNC at it because they didn't exist.
The "kinks" series by Stanley Colvin are particularly interesting for that.
