Transcriber’s Notes
Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings not all elements may display as intended. Indications of scale or size in illustrations are not necessarily correct but will depend on display size and zoom factor.
Unusual, archaic and inconsistent spelling and hyphenation have been retained. The inconsistent numbering of illustrations has not been standardised. The (minor) differences in wording between the Table of Contents, List of Illustrations and Index compared to the text have not been standardised, except as mentioned under Changes below
Page 20, ... the last part of Chapter III: Chapter III deals with other subjects; possibly the reference should be to Chapter V.
Page 26, Footnote [10]: The section Designs for Scroll Sawing may be found on page 30, the footnote anchor as printed in the source document should probably have been printed after item (f). The hyperlinks have been provided accordingly.
Page 53, Fig. 26C: Benzine and alcohol are as printed in the source document.
Page 157 and Index, Johanne Gutenburg: as printed in the source document.
Page 163, item F: A16 is possibly an error for 16A.
Page 164, item H: the number of As was illegible in the source document; item J: 11a 20a is possibly an error for 11A 20a.
Page 180, Du Pont Febrikoid Co.: probably an error for Du Pont Fabrikoid Co.
Page 207 and 208, footnotes [98] and [98a]: the source document has two anchors for this footnote. For this text the second instance has been renamed 98a, the footnote has been repeated.
Page 260, The harp is shown complete at C: Figure 109c does not show the complete instrument, and there does not appear to be another figure that does.
Page 276, Fig. 116: Presumably the dimensions provided are in feet rather than inches.
Changes made
Illustrations, tables and footnotes have been moved out of text paragraphs. The footnotes in the source document were not numbered consistently, they have been renumbered for this text.
Several obvious minor errors in typography and punctuation have been corrected silently.
Texts in dashed boxes under illustrations have been transcribed from the illustration, and do not occur as texts in the source document.
