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.

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.
