Alan Hi, I have inherited my father 13th edition which has most of the information that the 26th edition has in possible even more of the old British standards which seem to of been omitted thises days. The Kemps that i also have has many things not covered by the machinery's hand book, the edition is 1946 and cover many things that we find hard to find these days for refferance. I also have a British Machinery's thread book which tells me lots of information of all types of threads that i have not even heard of, being only 45 lots of old info is before my time. I have come across many old book on engineering and model engineering of ways of getting around problems and ideas that these days the current engineers of modern firms, i would think would not have any ideas how to solve.
