Synopsis
This book is an early 1900s guide to the then-emerging trade of pattern-making. As a skilled craft, it was essential to the booming industrial revolution and the rise of mass production. In addition to offering skilled labor techniques and tips for using tools, it provides a glimpse into the social, economic, and industrial history of the world in a pivotal era of manufacturing and economic growth. The author, an experienced pattern-maker of the era, provides a thoughtful account of the challenges, rewards, and day-to-day realities of pattern-making. This insightful volume also provides valuable context on the history of pattern-making and its role in industrial production.
