Takes you to a free PDF of a turn of the last century millwrights handbook. There is much in it that may be interesting or of historical value having little practical use today.

However there are chapters on the layout for and installation of machine tools, prepairing and pouring Babbitt bearings, replacing and splicing leather belting, etc all in a manner requiring few special tools.

Other chapters discuss hydraulic rams (of particular interest to off the grid homesteaders in need of energy free pumped water), calculations for basic shop problems, riveting, etc.
