Thank you all for listening – you had to put up with • quite a few technical and sometimes fuzzy details. • Why have I selected the history of machine • splitting – it is special compared with other tannery • machine development so often originating purely • from technology transfer from other industries. • My main sources of information some • of them dealing with various aspects of leather • and its manufacture: • Vintage American Saddle making and leather working tools • Gerbereimaschinen - AC Brill, 1959 • Engineer's Encyclopaedia – L Herbert, 1849 • C Osborne and Company • Delphin.com ( U.S. And English Patent Offices) Walter Landmann
