'This is the sixth edition of "Specification" published since the outbreak of war. It is smaller in size than pre-war issues. War-time restrictions on the use of paper have made it necessary to reduce "Specification" by approximately one-third of its pages. The resetting of the book has however made it possible to condense rather than cut the contents so that although the volume is now smaller than in pre-war days it contains more information and forms an ideal body for expansion when the war is over. <p>The policy of compressing and condensing has been followed again for the 1945 edition which contains much that did not appear in 1944. This volume includes in addition to new and revised matter throughout two new sections: Ventilation and Illumination; four rewritten sections Metal Windows Plastics Plumber and Drainlayer and new matter concerning lightweight aggregates mastics and vapour barriers' editor's note. A further note beneath the Contents header reads 'it is possible that owing to war restrictions some of the proprietary materials mentioned in the editorial pages of "Specification" may for a time be unobtainable'.

18964969New York: Bartlett & Company The Orr Press 1896. Octavo 20.5 x 14 cm. 97 pages. Date derived from Water Street address on title page. An extensively illustrated trade catalogue of heating furnaces and cooking ranges. Before the 1830s gravity hot-air furnaces were produced according to the specifications of individual buildings. The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size – to say nothing of aesthetic appeal – at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of all other Richardson & Boynton cataloguesbut none of this issue; Romaine page 363 for other issues. Bartlett & Company, The Orr Press unknown
