All very nice.  The demolition charge tape is a very interesting.  Used for calculating pounds of explosives for column diameter?

  Definitely an interesting find.  I have been accumulating older books on diverse industrial or reference subjects lately,  would love to find something on blasting or demolition.  I wonder if the Audels books ever covered the subject?

I wonder if the Audels books ever covered the subject?

If so, I'm sure the book reviews described the book as "Explosive!  A dynamite exposition of the trade!"

Some very nice items there.
