184735511Mexico City 1847. 5-1/2" x 8". 6pp. Disbound lightly toned. Signed in ink by H.L. Scott A.A.A.G. "By command of Major-General Scott." Ink notation at head of first page "See W.D.G.O. 21 of 1848." Very Good.<br/><br/> The issue concerned "the removal of two small howitzers on the 14th of September from Chapultepec." They had been under the command of Major General Gideon Pillow a Tennessee lawyer who was a close friend of President Polk. The howitzers were found as Pillow states "in my own baggage wagon." Hints and innuendo suggested that Pillow had deliberately taken them. Insisting that "this was done without my knowledge or authority" Pillow requested a Court of Inquiry which vindicates Pillow. "It does not appear that Major-General Pillow had any information of the actual fact that the howitzers were in the city of Mexico until the evening of October 8 subsequent to the order of the General-in- Chief in relation to trophies etc. when and subsequently he seems to have used all proper measures to have them restored. unknown books

1945155716New York: Sylvania Electric Products Inc. 1945. Large octavo 1-2 1-76 77-79 leaves fastened into an Accopress Binder. A proximity fuze is a fuze that detonates an explosive device automatically when the distance to the target becomes smaller than a predetermined value. Proximity fuzes are designed for targets such as planes missiles ships at sea and ground forces. They provide a more sophisticated trigger mechanism than the common contact fuze or timed fuze. The proximity fuze was one of the most important technological innovations of World War II. It was so important that it was a secret guarded to a similar level as the atom bomb project or D-Day invasion. Adm. Lewis L. Strauss wrote that "One of the most original and effective military developments in World War II was the proximity or "VT" fuze. It was of incalculable value to both the Army and Navy . While no one invention won the war the proximity fuze must be listed among the very small group of developments such as radar upon which victory very largely depended." A fine copy. Accompanied by the October 1945 issue of THE SYLVANIA BEAM revealing the existence the weapon which twenty-five Sylvania plants and laboratories had worked on in secret during World War II. #155716 Sylvania Electric Products Inc. unknown books
