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
