Chicago American Bureau of Engineering
Known from a practical early-20th-century manual on salvage and shop efficiency, this name appears to represent a publishing or institutional credit rather than a clearly documented individual author. The surviving record points to a straightforward, hands-on guide written for working mechanics and repair businesses.

About the author
Available catalog records consistently link this name to Profits from Scrap, a 1922 practical guide focused on getting more value from scrap materials in battery repair work. The book’s tone and subject suggest a strongly instructional purpose, aimed at tradespeople looking for usable methods rather than theory.
The author credit is unusual: sources list Chicago American Bureau of Engineering or closely related forms such as American Bureau of Engineering, Chicago. Based on the records I could confirm, this appears more likely to be an organizational or house-author credit than a well-documented individual person.
Because biographical information about a specific human author could not be confirmed from the sources found, there is no reliable personal history, career timeline, or portrait I can safely provide. In this case, the most accurate approach is to treat the name as an institutional attribution connected with a technical trade publication from the early 1920s.
