By Wayne Meadows
 

The COMPENDIUM OF BAR CORKSCREWS is comprised of two main sections. 

You’ll find out what they look like, when they were patented and who manufactured them in the Identification section, featuring over 350 photographs or advertising illustrations, and how they work and what the patent was all about in the Mechanisms section, containing over 109 patent drawings and/or photographs of internal mechanisms, with operational descriptions. 

The book includes 16 pages of full color illustrations. This is the first time, that the photographs, patent information and manufacturing history on these wonderful old automatic cork-pulling machines has been published in a single volume.
