19554891London England: Labour Information Office / United States Information Service 1955. Very good. 29pp. Folio. Original printed wrappers stapled. Noticeable toning and spotting to wrappers minor edge wear. Light toning to first text leaf. A rare collection of offprints of three articles which first appeared in the English publication Labour News from the U.S. in 1955 on the subject of automation in the American car industry along with a glossary of terms compiled by the United Auto Workers UAW. Two of the articles were authored by Walter P. Reuther president of the UAW and the third was written by D.J. Davis vice president of the Ford Motor Company. The articles were presented by the authors to a special joint subcommittee of the United States Congress. Reuther reports from the labor perspective writing that automation is welcomed by labor unions but he also points out the many problems of the practice. He also discusses the impending effects of electronic computers on society the responsibilities of employers the productivity of capital the need for growth in consumer markets the need for small business aid and more. Reuther suggests policies such as a more equitable distribution of the tax burden adequate unemployment compensation improved social security a higher minimum wage and other improvements that will satisfy the labor market in the advent of more automation. Davis's article provides the Ford Motor Company's perspective on the issue their definition of automation as well as its economics and effects. The glossary comes from a pamphlet printed by the UAW the same year and provides definitions of a range of terms such as automation servomechanism cybernetics and robot among others. We locate no other copies of this collection of offprints on automation from 1955 providing early information on the effects of computers and perhaps foretelling the advent of artificial intelligence on American industry.

1941234341941. Labor Organizing Ford River Rouge plant labor photo archive documenting the struggle over union recognition strike enforcement and industrial bargaining at Ford Motor Company between 1941 and 1953. River Rouge was Ford's massive Dearborn complex where raw materials blast furnaces rail lines ships assembly shops and tens of thousands of workers were concentrated at one site. Ford resisted the United Auto Workers longer than General Motors and Chrysler and the 1941 strike forced the company into an NLRB-supervised vote that led to UAW representation at Rouge. The later 1949 strike over speed-up conditions demonstrates the continued role of the union in protecting workers from unreasonable production paces giving bargaining authority and strengthening worker control inside the plant.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 7 Large silver gelatin press photographs measuring between 7 x 8 and 8 x 10 inches Dearborn and Detroit Michigan 1941-1953. Workers stream across elevated pedestrian bridges into the Rouge gates crowd plant entrances receive ballots under the supervision of officials and a Michigan State Police officer and stand in picket lines outside Ford buildings. A Black worker charges toward a picket while a state policeman advances with club raised with the Acme caption identifying the incident as "Vengeance at River Rouge" on April 4 1941. Other captions identify Sunday dinner served to pickets on April 6 1941; thousands returning to work after settlement of the UAW-CIO strike on April 14 1941; workers voting in the NLRB election on May 21 1941; pickets entertained from a truck during the May 1949 walkout; and Ford's River Rouge plant in 1953 described by the Ford News Department as employing more than 60000 and able to turn raw materials into a finished car in 28 hours.<br /> <br /> The archive records both the scale of River Rouge and the mechanics of labor conflict: police interference union voting picketing crowds and shop workers moving between strike and production. It connects the 1941 recognition fight to the postwar UAW's continuing battles over working conditions at one of the most closely watched industrial sites in the United States.

1940Cat332United States 1940. Photo album measuring 7 x 10 inches containing fifty-three photographs: two tintypes c. 1890s and 1920s six RPPCs and forty-five modern photographs. Photographs mainly measure 4 x 6 inches and smaller. Conditions vary; some with wrinkling and damage especially to corners and edges; others Fine. Overall excellent. A photo album of an unknown couple. Early shots include two tintypes which appear to be turn of the century to 1920s and six real photo postcards dating to the 1920s at the latest based on stampboxes. The RPPCs include portraits shots from a farm and a souvenir photo from Brooklyn. Later shots are likely WWII-era showing several men posing in military uniforms.<br /> <br /> The album is highlighted by its photographs of Californian auto tourism and a Soap Box Derby event likely also in California. Identifiable tourist locations include Bear Canyon Campground in Altadena and Cedarpines Park in the San Bernardino mountains; people pose with the car in deep snow and at the campside and shots show the car with luggage strapped to the outside and filling up at a Shell. One Cedarpines photo is dated captioned “Winter ‘28â€. Later auto tourism shots—with what appears to be a 1940s model car—show the car at a Los Angeles mechanic with a teardrop camper and a boat on top and later parked at a beach with the camper set up with manuscript verso indicating that the location is Mexico. Alongside these photographs is a shot of a Depression-era billboard reading “NO JOBS in California / KEEP OUT / 6 MEN FOR EVERY JOB / NO STATE RELIEF AVAILABLE FOR NON-RESIDENTSâ€; on the verso it is captioned “1929 / This sign was posted in Tennesseeâ€.<br /> <br /> Soap Box Derby is a Depression-era invention beginning in 1934 in Dayton Ohio and quickly becoming a national phenomenon. Derby shots in this album appear to be Californian or at least to highlight Californian entrants: the cars pictured are sponsored by Siminow Bros. a Los Angeles gas station and mechanic. These include the cars being towed in the line for the inspection station the starting line and action shots.<br /> <br /> Highlighting two very different forms of car-based recreation the album is of interest to historians of the car in American leisure in the period surrounding the Great Depression. unknown

Provides automobile service in California but the service is modified for drivers in Arizona Idaho Nevada Oregon Utah and Washington. The National Automobile Club started delivering peace of mind to motorists on February 28 1924. The first headquarters were established at 362 Pine Street San Francisco California. It was founded to provide assistance to motorists when that unexpected roadside emergency arose. Back then hard-surfaced roads were a novelty vehicle disablements prevalent flat tires were commonplace and gas was purchased at the general store. Engineers and cartographers in the Club's Engineering Department were engaged to log the roads of the state and to draft maps for the information and guidance of the members. NAC's maps remained in demand by the California Highway Patrol and the United States Bureau of Roads for decades. The N A C remains active today and provides roadside assistance for its many customers. Very good copy. Privately printed, 1931 hardcover
