Try archive.org: http://archive.org/details/surveyingandlev00stangoog http://archive.org/details/surveyinglevelli00stanrich The first link is the Google scan. In the "View the book" box on the left, the "PDF (Google.com)" link takes you to the online Google reader. It might work, even though you could not read the book directly through Google. Sometimes archive.org is the only way to find a book on Google. I have seen this more than once: a book does not appear in a Google search, but archive.org has a good link to the book - in Google! The "Read Online" link on that page uses the archive.org reader. I find it very slow compared to Google's reader, but I don't have a high speed connection. To download the whole book, in the "View the book" box click "All Files: HTTPS". That takes you to a list of files where you can choose the desired format. The second link to archive.org is a Microsoft scan of the same book. Often Google's scans do not have enough resolution if the text includes mathematical formulas. ("Is that exponent a 2 or a 3?") Note the larger file sizes in the second link. Stanley's book on drawing instruments is online too. It's in this list of seach hits: http://archive.org/search.php?query=title%3A%28instruments%29%20AND%20creator%3A%28stanley%29 My previous message also had a link a page in the Keuffel & Esser magazine "The Compass". But it's just a picture. I wouldn't have included it, except that Bruce asked for anything from K&E. It's in volume 2 of the magazine. Unfortunately, archive.org has only vol 1. But the magazine is interesting. http://archive.org/details/compass00unkngoog
