[Healeys] bolt identification - another article

[Mike Sinclair]

Old books are interesting.  I have a Civil Engineer's Handbook from 
about 1850 that has things like how many nails in a keg, what a man with 
a horse can accomplish, how big a hole two men can dig in a 
day.............Good reading.

Mike
