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

181954848Washington D.C.: Army Air Forces. 10-18- 1943. Color poster / map 47 x 35 1/2 inches 120 x 90 cm folding as issued now professionally mounted on linen backing. Wear and a little paper loss along the fold lines has been infilled light toning to lower centrefold; the poster presents very well with bright color. Stunning image of a hemispherical view with Japan at the centre encompassing the area from Iran in the west Australia in the south and as far as the west coast of the U.S. at the east of the map. The map maker is F.E. Manning one of the distinguished news illustrators of the war in a style very similar to that of Richard Edes Harrison. There is a scale along the lower edge which was intended to be clipped and used to measure distances of places on the map from Tokyo. Text reads: "This map is a photographic view of the world with the center at Tokyo. Thus with the detachable scale distances can be measured along any line running thru Tokyo. It should be noted that an inch at the center represents less mileage than an inch closer to the edges. The detachable scale has been designed to compensate for this and should be used only with the center at Tokyo. The photographic process used in making this map makes all distances measured with the tape approximate only. Distances are shown in statute miles. Lines between key cities do not represent regular air routes in all cases. They show distances between points that do not fall on a line going thru the center of the projection." The Newsmap posters were displayed in offices and factories to keep the American public updated with news of the war and to encourage their participation in the winning of it. .
