1940 Caterpillar Tractor - The Caterpillar Condensed Catalog 1940 - scanned

Description

The Caterpillar Condensed Catalog
, originally published by Caterpillar Tractor Co., Peoria, Illinois, 1940. Scanned and sold by Nation Builder Books, Mebane, NC, 2020. 11 x 8½ (landscape) paperback, 31 pages.
This auction is NOT for a printed or photocopied catalog. This is for the jpg images of the scanned book, which I will email to you.
The images are scanned at 400 dpi but at a rather low contrast and balance so as to avoid a lot of gray background. At 400 dpi, you obviously get a better resolution picture than at 300 dpi, but the file sizes are still manageable, unlike resolutions of 600 and more dpi, which can give files sizes of over 15 mb.
