<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Mike</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Yes, I’ve a
little book here. Comes in a plastic case. 2.75” x 1.75”.
“Spon’s Engineer’s Tables For Civil and Mechanical
Engineers, Builders, Contractors, Plumbers Etc”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">278
pages. I can barely read it with my specs on, barely find it
without. 1926. Such delights as “Blasting and
Tunnelling”….imagine going out with the team and saying
“Gosh, we’ve got some unexpected blasting and tunnelling to
do. Don’t worry Jeeves; I’ve got my little book.” Or,
“Disinfection and Fumigation”, “Railway Curves” &, like
yours “Animal Power”. Another one I’ve just
spotted..”Poisons and their antidotes”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">I
would not be surprised if this was part of the kit that a
young District Commissioner would take with him when posted
to single-handedly run some vast part of the Empire.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">Referring
to it again, you’ll be glad to know that it tells us that
one man can pull a one acre field of mangel-wurzels in 2.50
days. I leave you to ponder on how long a day was, what is a
mangel-wurzel and is it worth pulling.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
