Thread: Model Engineer Series

Ray,
There's a Yahoo group called mwhints that used to have dozens of files with projects and hints from these publications. Not sure if they're still available.

Thanks Geoff with Yahoo closing some of its offshoots it may be hard to find.

After I posted, I went looking at Yahoo. The group is still there - mwhints.
Unfortunately, the Model Engineering articles have been removed and in there place is a nasty letter from the copyright holders lawyer.

Hopefully someone has copied all the files to their own server

The new owners of Model Engineer and in particular the new arrogant editor, david clark, were responsible for J W Early having to take all the files from his many Yahoo sites.
The story from this arrogant sod clark, was that the new owners were going to republish all this old stuff, yeh right, just don't go hanging around by your pubes waiting for this to happen.

BUT and remember the but, they didn't get too far at all, with telling this mob to remove them, there must have been some members with-in this group who have more clout, that the sod clark.


They are all here, plus a few more as well.

Ray

Edit I think I just found a link http://www.techtomes.co.uk/dates.htm

Ray, not too sure how many different titles they ever published, but it must be up in the hundreds. They were the publishers for the paperback early black and white editions of The Model Engineer. They got a lot of stuff from the people who submitted articles to the Model Engineer and some of these articles then became the idea for the small books.

Trawl thru this site and just see how many titles you can find.

In fact Model Engineer has begun to publish some of the old stuff on their web site.

I posted a link to the NEMES website and the Model Engineer files there a couple of weeks ago. I later added information to the post on how to download multiple files on one webpage.

Some nice stuff there.

Tried to install PimpFish but Firefox wasn't having any, so looked for an approved Firefox Add-On, found DownloadThemAll.

Boy that made short work of 470 files!

Thanks for the link and the multiple file download tips guys!

Many thanks to you fine Metal working gents
