T is a glossary of terms a dictionary and a language index in numerous languages. Also, information on patents and patent numbers. T are hundreds or diagrams or illustrations with descriptions and information on each scale shown. A great research tool. The booklet had a soft cover and is bound together with plastic on each side, with prongs that go through to the other side. On the front, a small piece of the plastic on the top, no more than an inch, is missing. Other than that, the booklet is complete, unmarked and hardly used. PayPal can be used.
