Transcriber's Note:
If the pdf version of the book is viewed using facing pages with even numbered pages on the left, you will see a close approximation of the original book.
Notations of the form "(1,650) 2" appear at the bottom of some pages; they are probably printer's references for assembling to book.
The text only version is of limited use because of the many figures used. I recommend the pdf or rtf versions.
Some of the projects should be approached with care since they involve corrosive or explosive chemicals, electricity and steam boilers.
Do not use lead solder, particularly on cooking utensils.
Whether you simply want to travel back into the mind of a young boy at the beginning of the twentieth century, or want to try your hand at some interesting projects in carpentry, machinery, kites and many other areas, have fun.
The following are definitions of unusual (to me) terms used frequently in the text.
Terms
Batten - Narrow strip of wood.
