Found this little gem at the used book store. Looks like it was the classroom text book for Hobart welding school. There is no copywrite date in it, but from some dates that appear in the text it seems to be from the late 40's or early 50's. There was also a machinery's handbook from 1952 but I thought 60 bucks was a bit pricey for me

Nice find, I'd find that interesting to read thru, enjoy.

Wow, "leather bound."!

(Sadly, it'd be 'PDF' bound nowadays)

Interesting if you can tell us what's changed is SMAW since those 'good ol days'.
