Stein offers distinctive insights into the political and creative economies of manufacturing technologies and the continuedthough contestedrole of industrial craftworkers within them. Though deeply rooted in the personal histories of Australian patternmakers, the book will be useful for scholars of craft, industrial labor, and manufacturing technologies across a range of global contexts and trades.
