Subject: [ARLIS-L] 19th & 20th Century Patent Information
Dear Collective wisdom,
A faculty member is trying to find out where to search for 19th & 20th Century American and British patents on building materials and
drafting tools & equipment such as the blue print machine and the history of acoustic ceiling tiles? Can anyone recommend a resource?
Thank you,
Gilda
