Very good. with: Annual Report of the Mexican Telephone Company. 1890-1891. Boston: E.W.S. Jones Stationer and Printer 1891. 11pp. Original printed wrappers stapled. Wrappers somewhat toned small chip at each corner short vertical closed tear and some discoloration to front wrapper. Soft vertical crease throughout. Internally clean. An informative pair of rare and early reports from the Mexican Telephone Company a subsidiary of American Bell Telephone Company that sought to establish a national telephone network across Mexico during the 1880s. The Mexican Telephone Company began operations in 1882 using equipment from Western Electric and other supplies harvested from local Mexican markets specifically Mexican trees for telephone poles. At first the company met with success but over the course of the next two decades the company's work was eroded by a combination of increasing competition unsound workmanship the volatility of the Mexican financial markets and the restructuring and merging of telephone companies around the turn of the century. By 1905 the Mexican Telephone Company was sold or transferred to the Boston Telephone Company. Renamed the Mexican Telephone and Telegraph Company the branch continued to operate in Mexico contributing to the construction of an underground cable network. The present pamphlets provide interesting insight into the early years of the company's operations in Mexico. The first pamphlet opens with a letter to stockholders from J.D. Sargent the company's president. Sargent informs the investors of recent mismanagement of funds by the company's treasurer with which the company is dealing. He also reports on the company's takeover of the Puebla Telephone and Telegraph Company the infringement of the company's territorial rights by rival companies the hopeful outlook for completion of a railroad to Guadalajara which will likely result in "a decided improvement in business there for the future" and other news vital to the company's operations in Mexico. The following four pages are comprised of a detailed financial report to Sargent and the company directors by the general manager of the company M.L. Guiraud. Rounding out the first work is a two-page Treasurer's Report by the Treasurer pro tem. A.E. Denison. The later report indicates some volatility in the company's ranks as the opening letter from the president of the company is delivered by a new president Robert Colgate. Early in his letter Colgate mentions that he has been head of the company for two years and was part of a new regime put in place to curtail expenses liquidate outstanding obligations and "settle all outstanding claims with the view of putting the Company on a strong financial basis." Much of the remainder of Colgate's letter addresses lawsuits claims and other business which have now brought the health of the company to a "very satisfactory condition." The remainder of this annual report is a Treasurer's Report from yet another new treasurer W. French Smith. OCLC reports just a single copy of the later report at the University of Michigan. There are no holdings reported for the earlier report from 1887. Stanley & Usher, Printers unknown

Automation in the American Automobile Industry. Reprints of Articles by. cover title

19554891London England: Labour Information Office / United States Information Service 1955. Very good. 29pp. Folio. Original printed wrappers stapled. Noticeable toning and spotting to wrappers minor edge wear. Light toning to first text leaf. A rare collection of offprints of three articles which first appeared in the English publication Labour News from the U.S. in 1955 on the subject of automation in the American car industry along with a glossary of terms compiled by the United Auto Workers UAW. Two of the articles were authored by Walter P. Reuther president of the UAW and the third was written by D.J. Davis vice president of the Ford Motor Company. The articles were presented by the authors to a special joint subcommittee of the United States Congress. Reuther reports from the labor perspective writing that automation is welcomed by labor unions but he also points out the many problems of the practice. He also discusses the impending effects of electronic computers on society the responsibilities of employers the productivity of capital the need for growth in consumer markets the need for small business aid and more. Reuther suggests policies such as a more equitable distribution of the tax burden adequate unemployment compensation improved social security a higher minimum wage and other improvements that will satisfy the labor market in the advent of more automation. Davis's article provides the Ford Motor Company's perspective on the issue their definition of automation as well as its economics and effects. The glossary comes from a pamphlet printed by the UAW the same year and provides definitions of a range of terms such as automation servomechanism cybernetics and robot among others. We locate no other copies of this collection of offprints on automation from 1955 providing early information on the effects of computers and perhaps foretelling the advent of artificial intelligence on American industry.
