[Ill.u.s.tration: Figure 13.--EARLY 18TH CENTURY: In addition to their special function and importance as survivals doc.u.menting an outmoded technology, the hand tool often combines a gracefulness of line and a sense of proportion that makes it an object of great decorative appeal.

The dividers of the builder or s.h.i.+pwright ill.u.s.trated here are of French origin and may be valued as much for their cultural significance as for their technical importance. (Smithsonian photo 49792-G.)]

By 1900, the carpenter's tool chest, fully stocked and fit for the finest craftsman, contained 90 or more tools. Specialization is readily apparent; the change in, and achievement of, the ultimate design of a specific tool is not so easily pinpointed. Only by comparing ill.u.s.trations and surviving examples can such an evolution be appreciated and in the process, whether pondering the metamorphosis of a plane, a brace and bit, or an auger, the various stages of change encountered coincide with the rise of modern industrial society.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Figure 14.--1688: FRONTISPIECE FROM JOHN BROWN, _The Description and Use of the Carpenter's Rule_, London, 1688. (Library of Congress.)]
