Singer 1890's Factory and Product Book
 
I was browsing the Smithsonian and stumbled onto this online book of the Singer Elizabethport, NJ factory and products. Tons of photos.

would be nice if it's in pdf form so that we can download. wonder if there is any downloadable copy somewhere.

The Smithsonian has a lot of stuff scanned in. I found a book in there with all of the American sewing machine companies listed.

I just made a pdf of it, and it was 63MB. Who wants me to upload and share it?

EDIT: Did it anyway: http://ubuntuone.com/6vDXfpquAnl7WS19qBnTpO

You're all welcome. Very easy to do - I didn't sit for ages downloading every picture, but simply issued a few lines in a terminal and it was done in minutes.
