When I was a Peace Corps Voluteer several years ago, I came across a book on appropriate technology for field workers doing appropriate technology transfer in developing countries. The book was filled with schematics and diagrams on how to easily build suction water pumps, shadoufs,...etc, made from readily obtainable products in rural markets. It was like the "J.Peterman" approriate technology catalogue for volunteers doing technical assitance. Many of the plans had been devised by the USARMY (during the Vietnam war, I think), and each plan gave a brief history about where the device was used, and the estimated costs for materials. I would really like to get a hold of another copy or even a Xerox copy, the name, anything. I think it was put out by VITA, many years ago.Thanks for any help on this,
