Series II: Notebooks, 20th century
Scope and Contents
The Precision Machine Tools Notebook contains catalogs, photographs, reports, and specifications of Keller GG, BG, BF, and E machines. Also included are descriptions, diagrams, and photographs of Keller machines equipped with "Right and Left" fixutres, the Keller CAM Milling Machine, and the Keller Automatic Bottle Mold Cutting Machine.
The Keller Sales Department notebook contains sales brochures, photographs, blueprints, typed descriptions, and hand-written notes of Keller products arranged under the tabs: Aircraft, Blanking, Forging, Forming, Pattern, General, Two-Template Jig Bore, and Special.
The three G.I. Notebooks contain photographs, diagrams, descriptions, and hand-written annotations on three Keller machines: BL3620 3-Spindle #M-1701, BG-3 #M-1721, and #M-1739 Model D.
Many notebooks in the collection sustained water damage and mold infestation. When notebook materials are in a letter-size manuscript box, it indicats the original notebook was badly damaged and discarded. The photograph pages within each notebook were cleaned of mold and housed in polyester L-sleeves. Although safe for general use, those with severe allergies or respiratory diseases should handle with caution.
