This enormously helpful (and scarce) reference work was compiled from articles written between the years 1890 and 1948, the author having done exhaustive research in old magazines and books of that period. His goal was to "attempt to help people in the United States and other parts of the world rediscover the excitement of invention..., the working principles of basic tools, (to) explain modifications for your special problems, and perhaps stimulate new invention for new circumstances... gain new freedom from time and money worries by making and repairing your own tools and projects..."
