CD republication only from VLR! A rare copy of the 1893 - Mahn & Co Catalog of Survey Instruments.
56 beautifully illustrated pages fully of all types of surplus building materials complete with pricing.
From the catalog introduction - Having received many applications for Catalogues and Cuts of our Instruments, we have issued this pamphlet, pending the preparation of a more complete Catalogue. We must say, however, that with our superior facilities, consisting of the latest and most improved machinery and tools, with the advantages of steam power, large practical and technical experience, we are enabled to compete with the best makers in quality of work as well as in prices. To our patrons who have favored us with their orders we give our sincerest thanks and to our patrons, present and future, we give our word never to cease to have every possible care taken in order not to allow any instrument to leave our Factory unless we can guarantee its perfection in every particular and we say with some complacence that our Factory has the means to compete with makers of worldwide fame.
We are very confident that hereafter Western Engineers, Colleges, and other Educational Institutions need not go further for their instruments for in prices, as well as in quality, we are enabled to compete with the oldest and bestknown factories in the eastern market. We do not claim to make a very cheap instrument...........
