I will give ONE OUNCE OF GOLD for every ounce of adulteration found in my Coffee.
So writes B.T. Babbitt in a notice about his new coffee.
The notice appears on a page near the end of Henry T. Brown’s eminently dip-into-able 1871 book Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements, Embracing All Those Which Are Most Important In Dynamics, Hydraulics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Steam Engines, Mill and other Gearing, Presses, Horology, and Miscellaneous Machinery: and including Many Movements Never Before Published and Several Which Have only Recently Come into Use.
