Patrick: I hope you get that treatise by Rigby scanned- I'd sure love to see it. That brings to mind a question I've had on my mind for a while: Are there old technical association journals available digitally that contain articles of interest to old gun collectors? For example, is there a British engineering society publication dating back to the turn of the century that has pertinent material and can be accessed on-line? When I research a new project in my chosen field (geology) I drop by the local University library and can access all sorts of obscure stuff from all over the world.

Does this help?

Thread Tolerancing
Bolt Science Web Site
Time for a new thread?
It's been an absoulte education for an engineer to read this end of the thread about, er........., threads....., just to learn the history of them. Apart from the buttresses and acme's that are out of the normal, we just take the different threads as just another thread............. Or sometines a change of thread for the sake of change, like a fashion! BRILLIANT thread. Thanks All esp Badger and BinOz
Not my thing, as I cut myself using a screwdriver, but I do have access to most of the original early 1900's Machinery’s Reference Books, available in PDF format for download...
If enough of you guys are interested, I'll assemble them all together as a single "sticky" thread within the "Gunsmithing" forum .
Regards,
Doug
:thup:I would be interested as I have my Dads fitting books from WWII deals with metallurgy and the like, but anything like Gil is talking about needs preservation and looks like now days the books days are numbered go ahead Doug I will down load them from this site for sure as will others.
And to have P.L exclaim what a great source of info these books contain is testament to the knowledge they have inside.
Normally, our private files, audio books, magazines and other uploads sent to us are available in the “Team Forum” for Milsurps Advisory Panel and Contributing Members ONLY, but considering the engineer and machinist interest that this thread morphed into, we thought we’d make this particular magazine available to everyone.
Regards,
Doug

Good idea Doug and it sounds like you could do some surgery on this thread and create another new one containing a link to your new sticky.Quote:
