Instruction Book
Cost Cutter Saws [:] Instruction Book. (Chicago: C. B. Nelson & Company, n.d.) Benchtop Models A and C. Pedestal Model B. This book is undated, but in style appears to be from the 1920s or 1930s.
(The cover of this document is a pleasant dull brown. Regrettably, as I write this the most common commercial PDF reader displays it in ghastly reddish hues. This is a bug in the reader, not the file.)

Star Parts (1956/1966)
A page from a Star Parts catalog. The page date is Oct. 1956, but the catalog itself is the 1966 binder.
The first Nelson manual presented here, although without date, was clearly printed in the 1920s or 1930s. As such, it was published in the United States before 1978 without copyright notice and passed into the public domain upon publication.
The second Nelson manual (and parts catalog) presented here, although without date, was clearly printed in the 1940s or 1950s. As such, it was published in the United States before 1978 without copyright notice and passed into the public domain upon publication.
The 1966 Star Parts catalog binder in which the 1956 Morrison ad reproduced here appeared was copyright 1963. This copyright was not renewed, as would then have been required, and so this lapsed into the public domain upon the expiration of its original copyright. The digital reprint of it here remains in the public domain.
