1917 Vulcan Pile Driving Machinery Catalog and more - 116 Pages of Great Information
Every railroad and logging operation needed a pile driver in order to build trestles, bridges and foundations.
This CD contains the complete 1917 Vulcan Pile Driving Machinery Catalog. 69 pages.
Plus it contains 47 pages of extra information on foundations and the choice of materials for piles and basic operation of pile drivers. This information was taken from the publication on Foundations published by the International Textbook Company in 1908.
We have carefully scanned these old books and put them onto a CD so you can read them or print them out. All are in PDF format and work on all computers.
The three photos provided are partial pages from the actual CD.
Back in 1988 I scratchbuilt an On3 pile driver using the best photos and information I had available to me at the time.
That model was chosen by Model Railroader Magazine to be their Model Of The Month for May of 1990.
If I had the information contained in this CD back then it would have been much easier to build my model and it would have been more accurate and better detailed.
I had so many questions about how things would have been done but I could not find any helpful information about how pile drivers were actually built back in the early 1900s.
Now that information is available on this CD.
1st Class Mail is $5 to anywhere in the US or Canada. All other countries is $8 by Air.
