Since much of our collection is going digital, we have withdrawn a 3 volume set of the American Mechanical Dictionary, by Edward H. Knight.  (1876) It is relatively good shape.  It is currently available via the Internet Archive, should you want to see what the book looks like.

This is not our set, but may be of help.  See https://archive.org/details/knightsamerican00kniggoog   Many of our other engineering related titles are available there.

We are just hoping that some museum library or technology museum may have an interest in having the set.  Should you be interested, please write me.  We will pay to ship it.

All the best,

Amy
