Practical
Carriage Building
M.T. Richardson
This combined
reprint of Volumes 1 and 2 of the 1892 edition of Practical Carriage
Building is perhaps the most complete and accurate contemporary
work on the subject. It covers in great depth, and with many illustrations,
the materials and tools used, the making and repairing of wheels,
the making of carriage parts and their assembly, framing and construction,
axles, yokes, whiffletrees, patterns and layouts, and many other
useful and fascinating subjects.

All sorts of carriages
are discussed: buggies, cabriolets and broughams, phaëtons, rockaways,
as well as sleighs and sleds, and express, delivery, and farm wagons.
A definitive, easy to follow reference on this early trade that is
now enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.
