Staff Comments:

This hefty tome, is a collection of text books created for the Correspondence course by The colliery Engineer Company, later copyrighted to the International Library of Technology printed in 1901, London. Its apparent aim: " The information desired is such as can as can be immediately applied in practice, so that the student may be enabled to exchange his present vocation for a more congenial one or to rise to a higher level in the one he now pursues."

The sections (representing each text book and numbered as such) include: Woodworking; Wood Turning; Patternmaking; Green-Sand molding; Core Making; Dry-Sand and Loam work; Cupola Practice; Mixing Cast Iron. There is a comprehensive Index at the back.
