Default Old Recipes

This is my first time posting, so here goes.
I recently was given 2 books of OLD recipes that belonged to my Grandfather. I found dates of 1928-1933. He was a pastry chef in a bakery\confectionery.
My question is I don't know some of the lingo
There are 63 candy recipes that all contain GLUE. Could this glue be Glucose???
There is also a recipe for Sugar Cookies that contains ammonia. Could the be right???
I am sitting amazed at the recipes and am so thrilled to have them. I would like to make something, if Only I could understand, and reduce these recipes.
