Mechanical Movements and Devices

Hiscox, Gardner D.

Algrove Publishing Limited

Originally published about 1865 as The Boy's Book of Trades, this book was obviously intended to provide a synopsis of a number of the more common trades so that potential apprentices might choose among them. As happened with so many books of that era, if an allied subject appeared to be interesting, it was tossed into the text somewhere. The portion of this book dealing with the manufacture of gas is a classic example of this tendency. The justification for including it was undoubtedly that it was related to the gas fitter's trade.

One of the earliest guides to traditional whittling, this reprint of a 1930s classic preserves all of the original projects and text and adds updated drawings for the contemporary whittler. This manual is still sought after by whittlers because it explains how to carve many items popular in American tramp art and more complicated items that are not included in most whittling books, such as continuous wooden chairs, hand tools, puzzles, balls inside spirals, swivels, entwined hearts, and buildings inside bottles. The line art has been redrawn, color added, and additional art included, making this unique book valuable to a new generation of whittlers.

The inheritance that the officers and men of the Fleet have received from the past is expressed in many forms. Particularly is it expressed in the ceremony, tradition, nautical, customs, distinctive dress, insignia, and peculiarities of speech that set the Navy man apart from his fellow warriors. A better knowledge of the origin of these traditions and customs is of real value not only to the Navy man but to anyone interested in the naval service. This book is a repository of such knowledge. Both the informative text and the excellent illustrations of Mr. Windas' book provide a wealth of authoritative information in a highly palatable form.
