As i walked over to the line shaft machine shop, the head guy came right over and apologized for losing the contact info for the thank you note before I had a chance to say anything.
Hopefully your generous gift to Rough and Tumble will be acknowledged shortly.
DAB was kind enough to offer a pristine 5th edition of the Machinery Handbook which i was able to handoff for him to the lineshaft machine shop at Rough and Tumble. It's a 1915 copyright and a 1918 (1919?) printing and in excellent shape.
A lot of the thread info was dropped in the later printings when they standardized thread sizes in 1920. It is a GREAT reference for the older machines.
