    Description

    Loetzer’s Handbook
    by C.E. Loetzer.
    Practical rules and tables for engineers and machinists including a treatise on the slide valve and locomotive valve setting.
    Used by a railroad machinist in
    Clinton
    ,
    Iowa
    over 100 years ago.
    1913, leather bound, 8th Edition, 172 pages, very good condition for its age.
    Also included is a well used copy of
    the 4
    th
    edition of “Useful Information for Businessmen, mechanics & Engineers” by Jones & Laughlins, a manufacturer of iron and nails.
    This book is old, carrying an 1878 date.
    Contains all sorts of information used by mechanics and railroad machinists.
    Apparently, a valuable reference that has seen lots of use and appears to be complete except for its missing cover.
    In poor condition though everything is legible.
    Small size makes reading it somewhat difficult.
    1878, 3” x l-3/4”, over 250 pages.
