183346365London Richard Taylor 1833. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1833 - Part I. Pp. 95-142 a. 2 engraved plates showing the apparatus the Wheatstone Bridge. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of the paper in which Christie describes his invention of the electrical circuit meant to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit one leg of which includes the unknown component. It was later 1843 improved and popularized by Charles Wheatstone and then baptized "Wheatsone's Bridge". Wheatstone called the circuit a "Differential Resistance Measurer." "Christie’s paper "Experimental Determination of the Laws of Magneto-electric Induction" was the Bakerian lecture for 1833. In it Christie showed that "the conducting power varies as the squares of the wires’ diameters directly and as their lengths inversely." He also concluded that voltaelectricity thermoelectricity and magnetoelectricity are all conducted according to the same law which lent further support to the theory that all these electricities are identical. In this paper the paper offered Christie also gave the first description of the instrument that came to be known as the Wheatstone bridge."DSB. </em> unknown
1893234551893. Boston and Albany Railroad disaster photo archive documenting the catastrophic 1893 bridge collapse at Chester Massachusetts when the westbound Chicago Limited Express crashed through an iron bridge spanning the Westfield River. The wreck occurred on August 31 1893 after the bridge failed beneath the weight of the train sending locomotives and passenger cars into the river gorge below. Fourteen people were killed and dozens injured in a disaster that drew national newspaper attention during a period when American railroads were rapidly expanding passenger service while struggling with aging infrastructure and increasing locomotive weight.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 4 albumen photographs mounted on original boards each 8" x 10" Chester Massachusetts August 31 1893. The images show passenger coaches twisted into the collapsed bridge structure tracks hanging above shattered timbers and the locomotive overturned amid splintered debris along the riverbank. One view centers on a heavily damaged passenger car resting beside broken rails while groups of men stand surveying the destruction. Another records the locomotive and tender surrounded by wreckage and recovery workers gathered along the track bed. Smoke rises above the debris field in one scene while telegraph poles hillsides and the river valley remain visible in the background situating the wreck within the narrow western Massachusetts rail corridor. Pencil inscriptions along the mounts identify "Chester" with date "Aug. 31st 1893."<br /> The Chester wreck became one of several highly publicized railroad disasters of the late nineteenth century that intensified scrutiny of bridge engineering inspection standards and railroad safety during the peak era of American passenger rail expansion. By the 1890s express trains such as the Chicago Limited linked eastern industrial centers to the Midwest with unprecedented speed but the increased weight of modern locomotives placed enormous strain on bridges originally designed for lighter rolling stock. These photographs preserve not only the violence of the collapse itself but also the physical reality of nineteenth-century rail disaster recovery when wreckage removal body recovery and public investigation unfolded directly at the crash site. Light toning scattered surface wear and minor mount wear consistent with age; images remain clear and detailed. Overall in very good condition. unknown
