Default 1912 "Machine Shop Library"

Hi.
Was looking for a list of all the volumes in the old ( Mcgraw-Hill )
"Machine Shop Library"/ "Library of machine shop practice" series,
from some where around 1910 forward.

I only remember the "Tool and Die" volume and the "Jigs and
Fixtures" volume, both of which I believe were by Fred Colvin.

I know there were about 10-12 books in the set though. Does anyone
know all the voilumes?

I tried using the library of congress catalog, but it doesn;t seem to
support listing the volumes within the series (or mabey I just dont
know how to use the system).

TIA

I've got "Machine Shop Primer" by Colvin & Stanley, First Edition 1910.
Apparently not part of the set. Pretty cool book, however. A section of
numbered drawings of tools & machines, followed by a section identing
the drawings, and a glossary section. I was surprised to find that they
used oil-fed drills then.
