These salesman sample photo albums and ancillary ephemera vividly document the die cast alloy products churned out by the fast growing Superior Die Casting Co. founded in 1919 following World War I by two intrepid Jewish-American engineers. The first album composed entirely of linen-backed photographs open with images of the newly opened SuperCast Die Cast factory and reproductions of trade magazines touting the company’s new ally with 50000 lbs. of tensile strength with 25% greater permanency when subjected to extreme heat and steam as well as greater strengths when subjected to sub-zero testing in 1930. The myriad of inventive and eye-catching product photographs depict oil pump bodies Motometer mounts partition castings piston and crank assemblies fans rotors pulls speedometer drives rumble seat arm rests auto pedals oil gauge parts auto door panel glass holders and more. Of particular interest are the photographs depicting the vast nearly surrealist collage product exhibits created for the 8th National Exposition of Power & Mechanical Engineering in Grand Central Palace New York 1929; the 1929 Cleveland Automobile Show at the Public Auditorium or the 1927 Cleveland Industrial Exposition. The second sales album featuring 54 silver gelatin photographs and 32 of them designed with a nearly avante-garde creativity with ingeniously arranged product collages augmented with colour-tinted overlays. The SuperCast castings display a wide range of Wartime products including gun sight components computer cams for targeting gun turrets flight instruments Army Air Force automatic pilot and bomb sight parts and more. In addition a myriad of ticket marking machines metering instruments auto heaters refrigerator parts vending machine frames hair dryers T.V. antenna rotators pump impellers railroad speed recorders and much more spill across the large photos. This sales album focuses on the SuperCast zinc alloy die castings some with electro-plating along with machined aluminum alloy castings. A few of the Wartime Homefront factory photographs show a significant number of women working to aid the War effort in the packing and shipping department and the factory production floor. Harry Weiss 1882-1975 and Adrian Weiss 1894-1964 were both machinists and engineers with Adrian serving as engineer in the AEF in Europe from 1917-Dec. 1919 while Harry Weiss arranged financing and began producing the initial products of iron and steel castings sheet metal steel wire and steel products. From the 1920’s until after World War II the company produced die castings for automobiles electric motors appliances engines phonographs calculating machines mechanical toys motion picture projectors and more. Heiser 1881-1938 was art and commercial photographer in Cleveland OH who maintained a large staff of photographers and engravers. He frequently taught classes in and around Cleveland along with W.H. Bass of Indianapolis on how to build successful commercial photography businesses and detailing how to prepare product photos. Rebman 1910-1962 formed his commercial studio during World War II after leaving his job working as pressman and photographer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and his commercial Rebman Photo Service expanded and continued operating as a family business following his death. Family tradition would be continued later by his nephew Mort Tucker who had enhanced the business of Rebman Photo by focusing more on department store and fashion photography as well as architects financial institutions and more. This cataloguer could find almost no remaining historical reference or physical presence of any photographs related to the company and in fact the sole portfolio of undated company trade literature under SuperCast Die Castings is held by Cleveland State.

19046209Mexico 1904. Good. Map 31 x 41 inches. Old folds; slight loss and wear at some folds wear and chipping at edges. Lightly toned at folds minor soiling. A large and wonderful map depicting the streetlight illumination of Mexico City. The map puts the Alameda Central at the center of the sheet with eight outlined districts divided around it. A key provides a series of varying red dots which denote streetlights at various bulb levels as well as those planned for an increase. Green lines show electric lines both planned and in place. Various railroads snake throughout the city with the central train yard featured in the upper left center. The area with the most illumination left to do is the eighth district centered on the Paseo de la Reforma. Though the Paseo does have a series of lamps in place most of the rest of the area around it does not as it is still under development. We find no copies of this map in OCLC though with maps that is not uncommon. A fascinating look at the modernization and electrification of Mexico City at the turn of the 20th century. unknown
18874321Boston: Stanley & Usher Printers 1887. Very good. 12pp. Original printed self wrappers sewn. Minor dust-soiling and edge wear. Soft vertical crease throughout. Internally clean. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.

193264022St. Charles MO & Chicago IL: American Car & Foundry Engineering Dept. Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway; St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad 1932-1940. Oblong folio. 15.5 x 11.25 in. 112 pp unpaginated. thick black paper stock. With 151 silver gelatin photographs mounted within sized from 7 x 9 in. up to 10.5 x 13.5 in. a few long narrow 6 x 13.5 in. nearly all w/ typed captions w/in negative at lower fore-edges some w/ minor chipping at corners others w/ minor rippling from mounting.

Equip.†on spine in manuscript some bumping to corners a few leaves w/ cracking in center from weight of images a few reinforced at gutter margin w/ black cloth tape still a VG exemplar. This exceptional in-house factory album visually details the American Car & Foundry’s research & development testing laboratory facilities as they raced to compete with the Pullman Company to introduce the latest innovation in rail technology -- air conditioning. This one technology was not only essential for fast streamlined trains as prior to their introduction passenger railcars were largely cooled by opening windows but also for their standard railcars as well. However all steel cars with the emphasis on less wind resistance allowed all railroad car sets to travel at higher speeds -- streamliners up to 100 miles per hour. Ralph Budd the president of Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad was the innovator who combined the all steel cars first developed in 1907 by Alexander Cassatt with stainless steel air-conditioning equipment and powerful diesel engines. This album opens with equipment for the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway diner cars along with mechanical air-conditioning systems for the Wabash RR Chair Cars; together with the mechanical systems motors belts fan systems compressor coils air-conditioning ice boxes for transporting perishable foods and so much more. Of additional interest are the portable temporary rolling air-conditioning units which would be hooked up to diner and passenger coach cars when in the depot allowing comfort while the cars were not powered by diesel locomotive engines and their power plants so as to not drain the batteries. American Car & Foundry systems proved so successful that many of these photos show their large “Thermo-Gravity Air Conditioning System†units for overseas railways. No similar albums or technological records for American Car & Foundry are located in Worldcat; See: Air Conditioning: The Essential Technology Streamliner Memories August 1 2013.

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.

191356323Detroit & New York: The American Light and Traction Company May 1913. 4to. 9.5 x 11 in. 140 pp unpaginated. With 55 linen-backed silver gelatin photographs sized 8 x 10 in. nearly all w/ identifying text w/in negative at lower fore-edge many w/ dittoed labels on versos photographer’s marks on versos and nearly all mounted on linen hinges at gutter margins; 1 cyanotype chart. Contemporary black cloth post-binder brass screw posts at gutter margin rear cover repaired wear & bumping to corners occasional fraying & wear to fore-edges of text leaves still a VG copy w/ nearly all photos having bright strong contrast. First edition of this exceedingly scarce product photo album touting the industries and products produced and powered by the American Light & Traction Co. utility consortium providing an essential visual survey of United States power use and applications prior to World War I. The striking photographs depict the often gritty working conditions the presence of women in some industries such as the chocolate dipping factory and the myriad of industrial processes in the opening decades of the 20th Century. These industries and machines powered by the AL&T Co. include asphalt melting ovens annealing furnaces barrel drying beer production commercial bakeries smelting of brass and aluminum candy furnaces china the testing of Lozier automobile engines and the operation of Nash and International Harvester gas engines. Of particular interest are the expansive sections on converting commercial kitchens in Milwaukee WI hotels and restaurants to run on gas ice machines in Cleveland rivet heating factories in Milwaukee and the massive tire and wheel factories in Milwaukee & Detroit. Founded originally in 1900 for consolidating many small utilities and power suppliers such as Detroit City Gas Co. Milwaukee Gas Light Co. Southern Light and Traction Co. Muskegon Traction & Lighting Co. and others the company quickly expanded gaining control over 40 gas producing plants electric light and streetcar companies as well as manufacturing plants. McMillin 1844-1922 was an Ohio financier and banker who controlled the company until his death which subsequently came under fire as a monopoly utility from such strident critics as Gifford Pinchot and in 1935 was broken up by the enactment of the Public Utility Holding Act eventually emerging as Michigan Consolidated Gas and eventually merged with DTE Energy. Benham 1883-1964 worked as a photographer before World War I with his own studio before becoming an inspector with the Lincoln Auto Co. and then reestablishing his commercial photography studio until his death. He is perhaps best rememebered for his photo taken in 1901 of Henry Ford’s only automobile race against Alexander Winton in 1901.

Wedig and Sun Motors punch-sewn at gutter margin w/ blue ribbon minor dustsoiling edgewear w/ TLS from Ralph Kalish addressed to John H. Wedig; 2nd -- Oblong 4to. 12 x 9.25 in. With 39 linen-backed silver gelatin photographs including 4 images 35 of blueprints & diagrams many hand-coloured on images all mounted on linen hinges at gutter margin stamped on versos w/ photographer’s studio stamp. Contemporary Acco-folder post-binder bound w/ nickel-plated sliding Acco fastener at gutter margin minor edgewear rubbing still VG exemplar. A fascinating patent model album and patent award for a rotary “internal-combustion engine†developed by Wedig a Granite City IL physician and inventor. Rotary engines had first been developed by Millet and Hargrave by 1889 with applications to motorcycles and operating large flywheels. By 1900 Adams-Farwell automobiles had developed and introduced rotary engines into their motor cars. Prior to World War I there was a flurry of activity surrounding the development of rotary engines for aircraft as their power-to-weight ratios gave them an advantage over in-line engines being developed at the time. Dr. Wedig 1885-1934 an Illinois physician and inventor believed that he had made enough improvements to claim a U.S. patent including the piston sequences camshaft issues oil distribution and cooling problems. He filed in April 1918 just months after the U.S. had entered World War I and formed the Sun Motors Corporation to develop a lighter weight and more efficient rotary engine apparently not only for aircraft but also other uses. However his patent was not awarded until July 1922 and by that time high fuel consumption and oil lubrication issues would doom the rotary engine within a very short time and Sun Motors Corporation disappeared. Air-cooled radial engines notably produced by Jaguar and Bristol Jupiter replaced rotaries in aircraft and rotary engines before the Wankel rotary engine were largely confined to small and short-lived automobile companies such as Adams-Farwell Bailey Intrepid and others. Wedig had previously invented and patented a double-chamber syringe and known to have worked on other technological and medical devices. Schreiber 1879-1947 was a lithographer who became a successful commercial photographer whose business flourished until the Great Depression and then he disappears from street and commercial directory listings and is registered as unemployed for the World War II draft in 1942.
