Zimmer, George Frederick. Mechanical handling of material. [*]$10. Van Nostrand.
This is the first book written in English devoted to the subject of mechanical loading and transportation of materials. It treats of elevators and conveyors of various kinds, of ropeways and cableways, grab buckets, dump cars, unloading by coal tips, automatic weighing machines, floor and silo warehouses for grain, cantilever cranes, etc. There are 542 illustrations.
“The scarcity of data and the apparent unreliability of some of the data given form the most disappointing feature of this volume. There are many otherwise good illustrations whose value is greatly reduced by the absence of dimensions.”
