Subject: Machinery's Handbook 15th edition 1956.
The 1956 edition of this wonderful resource, from the era when the US was at
the peak of its industrial base. Imagine a book where every scrap and
snippet of "handy information" had been collected and hoarded for years by
machinists and mechanical engineers: this would be the result. Digital
reproduction is very nicely done - comes out very well when you print off a
few pages for your own hoard of handy information.

(Interesting how the first 100 pages or so are mathematical tables that are
trivial to calculate on demand now on current computers. Note there are 1930
pages, and the PDF version in 46MB.)
Bryan, how would you see integrating this information into SKDB? Does it fit
in, in any way?

The biggest challenge of the 21st century is the irony of technologies of
abundance in the hands of those thinking in terms of scarcity.
