    Historic Knight Foundry A Center of Innovation in the Mother Lode here was a time when the foothills of California bustled with activity. The lure of gold, copper and other trea- Tsures sent men into the earth in droves, so that it often seemed there was more activity under the ground than at the surface. Tools and machinery were needed to make the mining possible. Stamp mills, hoist works, pumps, ore cars, dredger buckets, rock crushers, and many other types of equipment had to be manufactured. If the mines were to operate, so must a foundry to cast the metal parts and a shop to machine them to final form. And this is where our story begins. Patent drawing for water wheel with signatures. Historic Knight Foundry, in Sutter Creek California, is believed to be the only remaining water powered foundry and machine shop in the United States. Origi- nally formed as Campbell, Hall & Co., the foundry was established in 1873 to better fill the ever growing needs of the Mother Lode mines, and to produce the patent- ed Knight water wheel. Samuel Knight, a partner with Campbell and Hall at the Samuel Knight and crew circa 1895. beginning of their foundry venture, lat- er bought them out with his new partner George Horne. Knight, a ship’s carpenter, had worked at mine construction sites in Calaveras and Amador counties, where he had begun to develop a more efficient water wheel. 2 The Knight Catalog of 1896 gives a brief history of Knight’s work: “About 1866, Mr. Knight, in common with others, made water wheels entirely out of wood.

It covers a period of approximately seven years. For six of these years - from the beginning of 1948 - the GATT has been in operation. The purpose of the list is a practical one: to provide sources of reference for historians, researchers and students. The list, it must be emphasized, is limited to the formation and operation of the GATT; for œasons •»f length, the history of the Havana Charter and its preparation and references to the proposed International Trade Organization, which has not been brought into being, have been somewhat rigidly excluded, while emphasis has been put en references that show the operational aspects of the GATT. The bibliography is divided into the following sections: 1. the text of the GATT and governmental publications; 2. selected GATT publications; (the full list of GATT publications is .obtainable from the secretariat on request) 3. a chronological listing of references to the GATT.

Moreover, indexes to each volume were kept by handwritten notation, in both pencil and ink, seldom in alphabetical order, and with numerous addenda and instances of inserted or corrected text. Researchers should exercise special and unusual latitude in an attempt to gather all the citations for a specific name. There are a number of variant patterns, but the most consistent apply to abbreviated versions of the name of the same person. "Cunningham, ~riggs"may be the same as "Cunningham, B." I,Dann, H. E ." may be the same as "Dann, H. H." (due to blurred or illegible handwriting). "Campbell, E. P." may be the same as "Campbell, President" (or Senator, Governor, Secretary, etc.). In many cases the index has knowingly been recreated literally from the original volume indexes with the mistakes intact to avoid an even more confusing, erroneous and unconfirmable interpretation.
