I wish that I had read this when I was a youngun. It would have accelerated my learning curve tremendously. I have seen excerpts from this over the years but never the whole pamphlet.

Some of these old ones are really interesting aren't they Lew? -
I may have to put this one in the to-do projects! -

Wish I still had that old treadle-powered Singer!
