Money Of Their Own : The World's Great Counterfeiters (9784871871372)



This is an account of the world's unusual and ingenious counterfeiters. Murray Teigh Bloom has searched out their stories for a number of years. In this book he gives us what he considers the most bizarre, daring and incredible items from his files.

There is the case of the Yugoslavian refugee in Italy who made a fortune minting and selling British gold sovereigns but who couldn't be prosecuted for counterfeiting because such coins are no longer legal tender. There is the bizarre story of "The Man Who Almost Stole Portugal" through an incredibly ingenious plan of bank note counterfeiting. There is the case of a London Stock Exchange clerk who lived and died a wealthy man before his activities were discovered. Also included are cases such as the rare stamp counterfeiter who was so successful that stamp dealers banded together and pensioned him off; the penman so incredibly delicate and industrious in his work that he drew U.S. bills that fooled even the experts.

These and others go to make up the curious galaxy of exceptionally talented men that is presented here. The book is a natural for the student of true crime as well as for those who want something that is completely original and off-beat.

Automotive Oscilloscopes : Waveform Analysis (0992949262)

Automotive Oscilloscopes and Waveform Analysis The rapid growth of technology used in cars has highlighted the need for a piece of diagnostic equipment that will give you X-Ray Vision, and show you the heartbeat of a vehicles electrical and electronic system. An OBD scan tool is vital for modern vehicle diagnostics; however, trouble codes will only take you so far. The problem can arise when the phrase 'fault code' is used in connection with diagnosis. A code will rarely point you directly to the root cause of a vehicle fault, but can help focus your diagnosis on a specific area and run functional tests. It is the oscilloscope (or scope) that can truly test the operation and health of a system component. An important thing to remember about oscilloscopes, is that they should be easy to set- up and use; otherwise they'll be passed over for a more familiar tool within your comfort zone. Remember that nothing ever happens within your comfort zone. There is a great deal of mi...
