We have carefully scanned these old books and put them onto a CD so you can read them or print them out. All are in PDF format and work on all computers.
On this CD we have 3 selections.
The first part is the 1915 road construction equipment catalog from Austin Brothers Manufacturing. This 280 page catalog contains about 200 photos of all kinds of interesting equipment. Austin Brothers were a major bridge builder and supplier of road construction equipment.
Contents include: Earth Moving Equipment, Rock Crushers, Steam Rollers, Portable Steel Cages for moving Chain Gangs, Concrete Mixers, Storage Tanks, Railway Bridges, Pile Driving Equipment, and lots of other great stuff.
The second part of the CD is the catalog of equipment manufactured and sold by New England Road Machinery Company of South Boston, Massachusetts. Approximate date is 1914. Featured are crushers, elevators, conveyors, washing plants, drag lines, loaders, road scrapers and other equipment. Great photos. 44 pages long. You will find several great scenes to model here.
The third portion is a collection of photos from Highway Engineering by Arthure Blacnchard, published by John Wiley and Sons in 1914. The original book was almost 800 pages in length with lots of engineering data and formulas. So I went through and scanned 58 great photos of road building equipment in operation.
All three on this one CD. 380 pages of great modeling ideas.
