ID-DOC
This is probably the first question anyone (amateur or specialist) asks
himself when being confronted with an unknown object. The shape of the
object is often the only lead you have to find out more about it. There are
virtually no means to systematically help you identify the object. That is
why the Museum for Old Techniques has been working on a database system
named ID-DOC since 2000. ID-DOC is an on line aid to help you with the
identification of unknown technical objects, i.e. hand tools. The database
is being continiously updated, corrected and adjusted. For the time being
you can find a complete version of ID-DOC on the dutch MOT-site, the
english and the french version are still "work in progress". Any comments
or suggestions? Please send them to info@mot.be. Read more about
identifying technical objects (nl).
