Description: "This field guide has been created to help owners, enthusiasts, and casual observers correctly identify and understand the history of the dozens of different examples of hand press technology that have survived the ravages of time and the demands of the scrap men. I have also tried to summarize the histories of the various inventors and manufacturers, for in many cases their stories are interesting in themselves"--Introduction.
