Machine tool reference site

For all you tool nuts, and machinery nuts, in particular. I
re-discovered this just now - I’m sure there will be plenty of people
here interested. This guy has amassed on hundreds of
lathe and machine makers over history. What the companies were about,
what the machines were, the models, the features. Lathes, millers,
shapers. It’s a gold mine of it’s kind. He also has an archive of old
manuals for sale, if you want that. Also small area of for sale -
site
is in U.K. Cool site:
