74125Trenton NJ: John A. Roebling's Sons Company. First edition. Small octavo. 24 pp. with a plethora of photographic illustrations. Publisher's sewn blue printed wrappers with a window in the front cover to display a biplane aloft. Small marginal tear not afecting any text. A very good copy. None located by OCLC. The Roebling's history in Trenton dates to 1848 when John A. Roebling purchased 25 acres of land in Chambersburg Best known today as the "father of the Brooklyn Bridge" Roebling and the company he founded supplied cables from Trenton to most of the major suspension bridges built in United States during the first half of the 20th century. Among the dozens of major bridges using Trenton-made cable are New York City's Williamsburg Manhattan and George Washington Bridges as well as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.Roebling Lofts converted the "Clark Street Rope Shop" Building 101 erected in 1917 during WW I. It was an ultra-modern facility for its time with massive windows and a fire resistant design. It replaced an older factory that burned down in late 1915 allegedly by German saboteurs. Building 101 specialized in light- and medium-gauge wire rope such as used in aircraft. Perhaps the factory's most famous customer was Charles Lindbergh who specified Roebling wire for The Spirit of St. Louis the plane he flew non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. This has been called the single most influential flight in aviation history excepting the 1903 first-flight by the Wright Brothers who also used Roebling cables for bracing wings. Lindbergh used Roebling products for control cables to brace the wings for the ignition harness and the plane's lightning rod. The testing lab for the aircraft business was located on the 4th floor of the Clark Street factory including a massive machine designed to simulate stresses on wings. The machine survives in place on the 4th floor and is being preserved in a lounge for use by residents of Roebling Lofts. John A. Roebling's Sons Company unknown
21657Very Good. Unrecorded Early Depression-Era Civic Profile<br /> A scarce and sophisticated early Depression-era civic profile presenting Winter Park as a refined residential and 'winter resort' community. <br /> <br /> Eschewing the typical high-octane Florida 'land boom' style this booklet promotes a vision of civic stability and New England-inspired charm. It highlights the city's architectural and social infrastructure from 'A City of Beautiful Homes' and its iconic winter hotels-The Seminole The Alabama and The Virginia Inn-to the modern amenities of artesian wells and lake breezes.<br /> <br /> The narrative balances Rollins College and the local school system with a robust sporting life including archery rowing on Lake Maitland and the local baseball club's recent pennant victories. It serves as a primary visual record of a 'strictly modern city' maintaining its cultural cultivation at the onset of the 1930s.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Rarity: No institutional holdings located in OCLC/WorldCat at the time of cataloging; a potentially unrecorded survival of Central Florida boosterism.<br /> Civic Architecture: Extensive imagery and text regarding major winter hotels and Spanish-style apartment residences such as El Cortez and The Lincoln.<br /> Lifestyle & Recreation: Documents a broad spectrum of 1930s leisure including shuffleboard public playgrounds and outdoor February entertainment.<br /> Historical Data: Utilizes the 1930 Federal Census population as 'recent' data; confirms the 1931-1932 printing window.<br /> Sports Note: Briefly mentions the Winter Park Baseball Club as Lake-Orange League pennant winners 1929 and state semi-pro champions 1929-1930.<br /> Specs: n.p. c. 1931-1932. First Edition. Octavo. Stapled Pictorial Wraps; 7½ x 9¼ inches; 24 pages. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs several full-page.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bindings are tight and square. The pictorial wraps show moderate shelf handling wear consistent with an ephemeral publication of this age. Internally clean with light even age-toning. A solid and uncommon example of Central Florida promotional literature. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> This booklet documents Winter Park's unique identity as the 'New England of the South' during a pivotal economic transition. By focusing on civic permanence and climate advantages rather than speculative growth it reflects the marketing strategy of Central Florida at the start of the Depression. <br /> <br /> The inclusion of the 'Big Three' hotels and the town's athletic achievements provides a comprehensive snapshot of a community that viewed itself as climatically and culturally superior to the more transient coastal resorts.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Winter Park Florida Central Florida History Florida Tourism 1930s Historic Hotels Florida Civic Promotion Urban Planning Florida Ephemera Travel Promotion Regional History Americana. unknown
