It is also a tribute to the skill and innovation of the bushmen and engineers who brought about the changes and who designed and built those weird and wonderful machines that were unique to the industry and to this part of the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJinkers and Whims contains more than one hundred photographs dating from the 1890s to the present, and provides a timely record of the developments that took place before the details of their existence and their operation fade from memory.","brand":"Vivid Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116334694640,"sku":"9781925171051","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781925171051_p0.jpg?v=1763633685","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781925171051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
