190024490Cleveland Ohio: Warner & Swasey 1900. First Edition. Cloth. Good. First Edition. 2 36 leaves. 4to. 9 1/2 x 12 inches. Tan cloth with black embossed decoration and titling on the front board. Printed in black and white on recto only except for the title page the verso of which shows a view of the factory. Several tears and small blank chip in front flyleaf. Binding is very loose with the signatures detaching and in need of service. Evidence of ex-library status with spine lettering faded to illegibility ghosting on rear pastedown that indicates library pcoket etc. Front and rear flyleaf likely missing or the front glued down. Even withall the essence of the book remains which is a large format trade catalog and/or advertisement for Warner and Swasey highlighting their skill as craftsmen and engineers in this case in the field of astronomical instruments and their housings. Cloth. Ambrose Swasey 1846-1937 was an American mechanical engineer and inventor. With partner Worcester R. Warner he formed the company Warner & Swasey in Ohio. They are perhaps best known for their construction and installation of major telescopes and their mountings they built the Lick Observatory telescope mounting apparatus. The company was acquired in 1980 by Bendix Corporation. <br/><br/>"The number of leading observatories for which we have designed and made astronomical instruments affords us an opportunity to bring together a series of illustrations which we feel will not only be of general interest but also of service in showing the magnitude and completeness of modern astronomical equipment." <br/><br/>While noting the attempt to tell the current state of instruments we find a surprising number of views of building exteriors. In some cases the architects involved with the respective buildings are noted. Plate 1 shows the private observatory of the owners of the company both amateur astronomers and enthusiasts which perhaps accounts for their success in this field. <br/><br/>A useful historical document for those interested in the subject and/or restoration of existing equipment. Printed by Chasmar-Winchell Press New York and Pittsburg. <br/><br/>Not in Romaine or Davis and Dreyfuss. Warner & Swasey unknown books

1883149639Rochester NY: H. H. Warner & Co 1883. Softcover. G- Substantial edge wear and soiling to covers; page edges are beginning to flake off; pages are aged but not foxed; text is clear. Pinkish paper wraps 32 pp. BW illus. A pamphlet that touts the virtues of H. H. Warner's Safe Kidney & Liver Cure which treated Bright's disease; stones found in kidney and bladder; inflammation of the kidneys liver and urinary organs; and much much more. So safe a product was this medicine that its bottles carried a picture of a safe on them. This 32-page advertisement for the liquid is caged in the guise of a customer contest in which a total of $2000 would be doled out to various levels of winners. Top prize $1000; second prize $300; third prize $250 etc. All you had to do was figure out the 10 "enigmas" that ran along the bottom edges of these pages. Detailed directions for submissions were included. Since this is the "fourth annual pamphlet" this marketing approach must have worked for the Warners. But really most of the pages are testimonials from folks all over the country who used the medicine and were cured of their maladies and calamities. Each one carries a facsimile of the person's signature. The front and back covers show engraved portraits of a total of 18 gentlemen who are presumably either satisfied customers or people mentioned in the enigmas. Central on the front cover is Chester A. Arthur with his signature. It sure would be fun to track down all of the people named in this lengthy promotional piece. Ah well. Maybe you have the time. The seven-story Gothic style H. H. Warner Building still stands in Rochester and is on the National Register of Historic Places. H. H. Warner & Co paperback books
