The left handy looks interesting Phil. Any chance of a few sample shots of its internals?

No worries Bob.
Sorry about the quality of the pics as I used the phone. If they aren't up to a readable quality I will get 'big bertha' out and take some proper ones. In fact, when I get home from work I will do some shots of the full index. It's a fantastic read.

Hey Phil. I'll swap you my Man Junior collection for that catalogue.
600 + pages of desirability. You rekindled my interest in more catalogue hunting.
Thanks

Phil Any date on that catalogue? Duh just found the answer in my copy of the same edition! (thought my edition was later) pge111 "Owing to war conditions" WW2 I assume ? The section on Butler shaper's is far far better than man junior! (tho that mightn'have been the case when I was a teenager!)
Collecting books and catalogues is as addictive as collecting tools and machines!

Hi Bob,
Would love to swap but I fear that I may have already perused the pages of every 'Man Junior' there ever was
Would be happy to post it out for you to look over at your leisure. It's worth it just to see the range of accessories that were available.
Hi Graeme,
I'm guessing 1940's as well. Collecting books on all things engineering,(mechanical), shot past addiction and into obsession years ago
If I find a book I want in a shop and I don't have the money, I stick it behind books in a different section like pottery until I can get back with the money
Phil
ps here is the index Bob

Thanks for the pics Phil. I would love to see better shots of the two shaper attachment pages.

I just love these old catalogues.
You can download a few from "Rose Antique Tools" in pdf format.
Rose Antique Tools old tools and history
Brown and Sharp 1913.
Starrett 1948
And ... Melhuish, Sargeant, Crescent etc
But you guys already knew all this?

Hi
This a neat book, over 500 pages , circa 1941 . Reading through it, I see that nothing much has changed in machining . With mag chucks , DTI . mag dial gauge bases and many other contemporary tools listed .

Hi,
I had another weekend trip to the Central Coast this weekend, I received a nice surprise from my father-in-law.
The Amateur's Lathe by L.H. Spacey, first published in 1948 second edition 1954.
Aimed at amateurs (mainly model engineers), about the biggest lathe they show is 3.5". Has photo's of all the usual British lathes - Myfords, Portass's, Colchester etc.
I've browsed through it quickly, looks interesting - lots of milling in the lathe, interesting use of the tailstock as a fixed steady and other useful bits of unusual engineering info.
It shows its age when the author writes roller bearings produce chatter on the work. And if the buyer can afford it, buy a lathe with a electric motor instead of a treadle drive!!
All in all though, its a great little book and a interesting read.
Ben.

collecting literature
Hi guys,
I found this 13th edition Machinerys Handbook in a bookshop today. No price tag on it but normally fairly cheap here.
