GURLEY MANUAL 1874, A Manual of American Engineers' and
Surveyors' Instruments
The manuals published by W. & L.E. Gurley, one of America's
leading producers of mathematical and scientific instruments,
have been used by generations of engineers and surveyors. In this
manual Gurley describes all of its various instruments: how they
are calibrated, used and maintained. The remainder of the book
is devoted to a catalog of the instruments being offered. The
1874 edition is especially valuable since it is one of the earliest
complete catalogs and rarely found in the original. With an introduction
by David C.Garcelon. 256 pages................ sale ... $17.00
