Information Sources

  • Thanks to Charlie Mellom for first bringing this firm to our attention, and for providing the scan of the catalog for the No. 67 turning machine.
  • Under Berlin Machine Works is a publication entitled, Berlin Quality - Magazine full of articles about Berlin machines - 3/1915. On p. 16 of that magazine it mentions that Berlin Machine Works was successor to Wood Turning Machine Co. Thanks to Charlie Mellom for finding that reference.
  • A search of the Cornell and Michigan Making of America archives did not produce any information on this company, which suggests that it did not likely exist before 1880 or so, where the Making of America coverage is strongest.
