For those interested in water power and its use in industrial times in the US, the book "Waterpower in Lowell, MA" may be of interest. I bought it on a whim, not having much knowledge or experience with water power, and I found it a mostly interesting, if (ironically) mildly dry treatment of the use of water power in revolutionizing industrial operations around that time. It's not a highly technical treatise, but more of a historical perspective. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
