Report on a comprehensive public transportation plan for the Seattle Metropolitan area. . . ; The rapid transit plan for the Metropolitan Seattle area: technical appendix. . . .

Oblong folio. 13.5 x 11.5 in. xi 1 2-125 3 pp. With photos illustrations diagrams architectural renderings urban designs some colour maps many pages printed in red & black.

Approx. 300 pp sections all separately paginated w/ assorted additions. With charts maps photographs diagrams illustrations. Printed board covers lettering in red & black wire spiral binding as issued minor shelfwear slight rubbing still a VG set. First editions of both volumes of these prescient urban planning architectural reports which were among the nationâ€™s first large-scale attempts at regional planning for transportation and land use to encourage economic growth. These reports represented the culmination of reform movements rooted in President Kennedyâ€™s space race and emphasis on scientific achievement celebrated by the 1962 Seattle Worldâ€™s Fair which fast-tracked Seattleâ€™s ambitions for sports science the arts and global trade together with the Johnson administrationâ€™s â€œGreat Societyâ€ efforts encouraging efforts to upgrade transit arterials public parks community centers to reduce poverty and improve dense urban city environments for growing businesses and social good. De Leuw Cather teamed with the architects Naramore Bain Brady & Johanson urban designers Okamoto/Kiskamm and others envisioned this report as vital to growing a stable economy and underpinning the 1968 â€œForward Thrustâ€ transit measure which was to turbo-charge Seattleâ€™s growth reminiscent of the efforts in Toronto Ontario Canada. Unfortunately the 1968 version bond initiative only received 51% of the vote short of the needed 60%. The 1970 Rapid Transit Plan which streamlined the original proposal included here failed by a much higher margin as Seattle by then had fallen into the deep Boeing Recession caused by business downturn but also the cancellation of the SST project as Americans and the US Congress soured on the ever-growing cost of the supersonic aircraft development as well as the continued supersonic booms. Both versions of the De Leuw driven plans focused on the combination and development of mass transit rail bus transit and pedestrian aspects in order to drive social good. Today in many respects the Seattle Metropolitan Area over 50 years later has incorporated many aspects of the Mid-20th-Century Modern vision which emerged from the enthusiasm of the 1962 Seattle Worldâ€™s Fair.

An extraordinarily complete salesman sample case for metal weatherstrip windows and doors during the 1920s including all of the original working models and sales literature. At the end of the 19th Century there was a growing awareness and need for better heating and ventilation as well as retaining heat within homes office buildings and public buildings. Metal weatherstripping was developed for wooden double-hung windows and doors in order to better retain heat within these interior spaces. Following World War I the Chicago & Omaha based company Concrete Engineering Co. â€œCecoâ€ began marketing and producing an entire line-up of carefully milled and engineered zinc brass & bronze weatherstripping products targeted not only towards new construction but also towards homeowners retrofitting and upgrading their existing windows. These products were a patented interlocking â€œSlide-Lockâ€ metal system consisting of grooved bead strips for double hung windows as well as fluted strips plain strips with zinc liners and even a corrugated rib on both sides of the rib which made sashes slide easier and not bind. The sales manual included with this kit and the models show all the different varieties and assorted metal hardware fittings and how these weatherstrip products would actually pay for themselves in fuel savings a concept expanded and pioneered by the U.S. Fuel Administration during World War I. The Ceco Weatherstrip Co. stood out in the field during the 1920s as they had also developed products for French doors and window casements as well as solid core interior and exterior doors and even window transoms. C. Louis Meyer 1886-1953 an entrepreneurial mechanical engineer founded the Concrete Engineering Co. originally in Omaha NE pioneering and manufacturing reusable steel forms and reinforcement bar used for commercial construction in concrete buildings. The company later attracted attention by manufacturing and fabricating steel doors windows joists and was a key subcontractor during the 1930s on the projects to build The Golden Gate Bridge Lincoln Tunnel and the Cleveland Union Terminal. The Pyramid Metals Company emerged from the partnership of three former Ceco managers including former subsidiary founder & organizer for Ceco Ira L. Reed 1896-1972 but the company would not survive past 1932 during the Great Depression. Pyramid manufactured and sold nearly identical products to the Ceco Weatherstrip Co. products but were not nearly as well funded.
