Wrought Iron & Steel In Construction - 1892

Wrought Iron & Steel In Construction - 1892

Wrought Iron & Steel In Construction - 1892

(OP)
I have scanned and added a "new" 320 page .pdf book to my website

It is at the top of the homepage, see the link below.

This book, produced by Pencoyd Iron Works, is similar in form and content to a Carnegie Pocket Companion. It may be quite useful to engineers working on historic structures.

There was a small "window in time", the early 1890's when both iron and steel sections, of the same size, were being produced simultaneously. This book covers them both. While it concentrates on the this company's products, the generic specs and guidelines for iron / steel design are included.

Hey Slide.....nice.



RE: Wrought Iron & Steel In Construction - 1892

To go along with the AISC manual discussion, I got this one off of eBay a while back.  My copy has a burgundy board cover.  Is yours the same, SlideRuleEra?

Better than this one is the 1898 version, with a soft tan leather cover.  It is currently the prize of my collection.  Both of them have fold-out pictures of the plant inside the cover.

nutte - Burgundy cover, that is the one. The fold-out of the plant is there, too.

JAE - Thanks.
