Route 1, Box 54 Princeton, Wisconsin 54968
For the past ten years the writer has subscribed to, read and
indexed articles that have appeared in The Engineers and Engines
Magazine and in The Iron Men Album Magazine. This index has grown
to over 160 rubrics or categories with somewhere in the
neighborhood of 750 separate entries. Undoubtedly it reflects the
his preference for substantive articles i.e. ones that deal with
the history of manufacturing concerns and farm machinery. A glance
at the list of rubrics, however, will reveal that other categories
such as railroads, sorghum making, gas engines, sawmills, book
reviews and even letters to the editors have not been ignored. On
the other hand, obituaries (except in rare instances), reports on
shows (unless these contain what was judged to be pertinent
information), inquiries and rambling personal accounts for the most
part have been omitted.
The Index currently exists on 3×5 cards, usually with more than
one entry per card. The entries are neither alphabetized nor
arranged by date of publication. Consequently one must search
through each category; but that is precisely what one would be
expected to do.
Each entry takes the following form. Under the rubric Model one
will find:
John M. Chmiko: Letter E&E June-July 1988 P 27 Building
Model Spoke Wheels. IMA Jan-Feb 1983 P 18.
In the first instance, John Chmiko is the author of a letter
published in E & E (The Engineers and Engines Magazine): In the
case of letters to the editors the names of the writers are
included to facilitate location. The date refers to the issue of
the particular journal and is followed by the page on which the
letter is to be found. Full pagination is never provided.
In the second illustration the author’s name is not given.
This is a subject index. The title is followed by IMA (The Iron Men
Album Magazine), the date of publication and the page on which the
article begins.
Some articles are listed under two or more headings. ‘John
Froelich’s Original and John Deere’s Reproduction,’
E&E Oct-Nov 1985 P 13 is to be found under John Deere and
Froelich for reasons immediately obvious to those interested in
John Deere or Froelich.
‘The Brandon Motor Contest’ E&E Oct-Nov 1988 P 16
likewise is to be found under Avery, Case and Tractors because the
article treats gas engines and steam engines, the forementioned in
particular.
When the same article has been published in both E&E and IMA
it is listed for both magazines. Cross references are given in a
few instances. In others, annotations may appear e.g. ‘The
History of a Foundry’ is located under Lobsinger Brothers and
is followed by: (May have built the last threshing machine.)
As might be expected, the number of articles to be found under a
particular rubric will vary greatly. In some cases, only one may
appear. In other instances, such as Case, Reeves, Railroads,
threshing machines and tractors the total number of articles may
reach well beyond 50. More than 70 are arranged under the heading
of Case.
If interested, the writer is willing to share his Index. He does
not wish, however, to become engaged in the indexing business and
would expect to be reimbursed for his efforts, and for all costs of
reproduction and postage. If you wish to call 414-295-3282,
listings under particular headings of interest to you will be
provided at no cost. Collect calls not accepted!
