<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding the ORIGIN of the plates, the first one -
the Warner Chiming Mangle - is direct from their 1874 catalogue. The ornamental
standing hemispherical bell is also from there, but the other curious items are
not. The bell section is a 19th century adaption of an 18th century drawing I've
seen once or twice. The latest modification I've seen in Meneeley (West Troy)
1912 catalogue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>None of this however answers Chris's original
question, namely the source of these drawings in this compilation. It would be
interesting to find out (and to read what is assumed to be an accompanying
text).</FONT></DIV>
