Clamps info web page?

[AmishWarlord]

Anyone have a link to an informative web site on woodworking clamps.

I'd like to know what the names of the different types are, how and when to use a certain one and the history and development of that particular clamp.

FWIW, Fine Woodworking magazine had an article a few years ago with information covering a fair number of clamp styles.

As for the names of your clamps, from top left to bottom right

Row1: Pipe Clamp; Handscrew; C Clamp
Row2: Spring Clamp; (not sure); Band or Belt Clamp (for frames and circular shapes like octagons)
Row3: Press Clamp; Toggle Clamp; Bar Clamp
Row4: F Clamp (also type of bar clamp); Corner Clamp

You might try looking these up on WikiPedia.com to see if you can find some historical information on these clamps.
