NEW YORK INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION IN 1853.
Special Report of Mr. Joseph Whitworth.
Having been unavoidably prevented, as explained in the General Report of the Commission,[1] from making a report upon the Machinery exhibited in the New York Industrial Exhibition, I have drawn up in a concise form the results of observations made while visiting the principal seats of those manufactures which came within my department.
The statement thus prepared embraces a variety of subjects, somewhat miscellaneous in their character, and which do not conveniently admit of a regular classification. I have endeavoured, however, as far as possible, to overcome this difficulty, and to adopt an arrangement by which the substance of the information
- ↑ This arose from the incomplete state of this department of the New York Exhibition up to the time when I left the United States.
