It’s an old book; it’s an interesting reading than a reference, all true you have very interesting reference material.

@gerardg,

Thanks for sharing. Im sure there is a lot of great information in that book. The only downside is that Im not a big fan of reading books electronically. Im old fashion and rather have a book in my hand to read.

Hope other members enjoy this great Resource.

On a side note, darkormex, do you want to add this to our Philatelic Internet Resource section???

[darkormex]

Yes, I will. I saw this last night and there are some other links that have recently been posted that I will incorporate. There is a suggestion thread that I wish more of our members would use instead of randomly posting links!

Kacyds, I'm a book guy too. I have an intensive collection of aquarium related and fish books.

I like how the author uses the terminology "engine turned oval disc" referring to the rose engine of course. How many people outside of the Designer, Rotographer, Engraver or the super specialist (pre-internet) knew what that terminology meant?

Excerpt from book:



A short video on the Rose Engine if you are interested
