About the author
Chicago American Bureau of Engineering appears to have been a corporate or institutional author rather than a single person. Public-domain listings for Profits from Scrap identify the author as American Bureau of Engineering, Chicago, and the book itself was published by American Bureau of Engineering, Inc. in Chicago.
The work most clearly connected to this name today is Profits from Scrap, a practical guide for battery service and repair businesses. It focuses on reusing lead scrap, making parts in-house, and improving shop efficiency, suggesting that the bureau specialized in straightforward engineering and trade information for working professionals.
Because reliable biographical information about the organization is limited, not much can be confirmed about its staff, founders, or publishing history beyond these surviving editions. What does come through clearly is its purpose: producing concise, utilitarian technical material for the electrical and automotive trades.
