![]() 1607 forum posts 69 photos | A similar enquiry - I have just noticed the book Workshop Hint & Tips on the shelf - a Model Engineer Handbook, published in 1957 and reprinted in 1970. This is by Geometer and I think is a set of reprints of articles in ME - but does anyone know who was Geometer? The introduction says the name covers the identity of 'a professional engineer who has had many years of experience' A good read! |
