191158482New York Brooklyn Newark Jersey City & Philadelphia: Delaware Gas Light Co. ca. 1911. Small 4to. 5.75 x 7 in. 24 pp unpaginated on thick paper stock. With 7 silver gelatin photos on thick glossy photo paper stock hinged at gutter margin minor soiling to upper fore-edges of a couple images. Pebbled calf split-pin post-binder gilt lettering stamped on front cover black silk pastedowns wear & scuffing to fore-edges minor rubbing minor wear to corners minor fraying to the fore-edges of the silk pastedowns still VG- copy. First edition of this very scarce Progressive Era sales catalogue for the Delaware Gas Light Co. lighting system. Using patented gas lighting equipment developed by Roessler & Armington this Easton Gas Co. subsidiary marketed this lighting system as better light than electric arc lighting at one fifth the cost steady brilliant illumination no blackening of mantles no smoked ceilings and no abnormal heat. The systems which were only rented to the consumer featured a small high pressure pump invented by Roessler 1872-1939 and a separate reservoir and piping -- all installed and maintained by the company. The photos show the styles which were available in copper or black enamel assorted size and density glass globes from clear to opaque and could be fitted with by-pass lever or chains to control the lighting. The Delaware Gas Light Co. had originated in Delaware OH in the 1870’s and in 1903 was absorbed into the Easton Gas Co. along with Easton Fuel Gas William’s Township Gas Co. Forks Township Gas Co. and others becoming the Easton Gas & Electric Co.

1944233061944. East Ohio Gas explosion photographs recording the October 20 1944 liquefied natural gas disaster in Cleveland Ohio one of the deadliest industrial catastrophes in city history. The unidentified photographer assembled photos of collapsed gas tanks burned automobiles leveled brick buildings ash fields and rescue activity after the blast and fire that tore through the East 55th Street and St. Clair Avenue district. The event killed roughly 130 people and destroyed a broad swath of the surrounding neighborhood after gas escaped entered sewers and gutters and ignited across the district. <br /> Photo archive of 14 silver gelatin photographs photos measure 2.75" x 4.75" mounted on 10.5" x 13" black album leaf Cleveland Ohio October 1944. A few carry captions including "East Ohio Gas Explosion." The strongest images center on the damaged storage plant itself including two views of the large spherical gas holders with torn metal skins and collapsed structures at their base. Other photographs move outward into the destroyed neighborhood: a burned sedan sits twisted in rubble; brick factory walls stand roofless and hollow; streets are reduced to ash mud and broken masonry; and leafless tree trunks rise from a flattened landscape where houses and smaller structures had stood. One photograph shows a crowd of civilians and workers gathered amid debris before a shattered industrial building. Another isolates a man standing in the wreckage. A second group portrait includes several men in coats and hats beside uniformed personnel probably police or fire officials. The repeated emphasis on wrecked tanks gutted streets and pulverized building shells makes the archive a sequential record of blast damage rather than a general view of a fire scene.<br /> The East Ohio plant was an early liquefied natural gas facility and the 1944 disaster became a turning point in the history of gas storage in American cities. A Bureau of Mines investigation followed and later historical accounts note that the fire destroyed 79 homes 2 factories and 217 automobiles while forcing new attention to safer low temperature gas storage methods. The destruction covered roughly a square mile on Cleveland's east side and exposed the danger of placing large fuel reserves beside dense working class neighborhoods and urban utility systems. Light wear and chipping to album leaf; images remain clear and well preserved. Overall very good condition. These photographs preserve that system after failure when industrial modernity appeared not as progress but as wreckage displaced residents and a city forced to rethink how fuel infrastructure should be built. unknown
18942508Pittsburgh 1894. Very good. Three volumes 99 90 and 102 leaves printed rectos only. Oblong octavo. Contemporary half brown cloth and marbled paper-covered boards. Moderate edge wear some creasing and scuffing to covers. Occasional dust-soiling to text. An informative trio of daily report books recording work performed by a field worker of the West Penn Gas Company in the last decade of the 19th century. Each leaf is a separate partially-printed daily report filled out by Samuel McCutcheon from June 1 1892 to March 24 1894. McCutcheon records the numbers and names of wells the "estimated amount of water blown off" the "location of line drip" and the "estimated amount of water blown off" of each line drip. McCutcheon's maintenance records provide unique insight into the functionality of dozens of gas wells near Pittsburgh belonging to the West Penn Gas Company during the peak of the Pennsylvania oil boom. unknown

188042765London Harrison and Sons 1880. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Year 1879 Vol. 171 - Part II. Pp. 231-256. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a major paper on Gas Dynamics creating a whole new science. One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath John James Waterston James Joule and particularly Rudolf Clausius to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt; but it received enormous development from Maxwell who in this field appeared as an experimenter on the laws of gaseous friction as well as a mathematician."Maxwell's last major paper on any subject was "On Stresses in Rarified Gases arising from Inequalities of Temperature." Between 1873 and 1876 the scientific world had been stirred by William Crooke's experiments with the radiometer the well-known device composed of a partuially evacuated chamber containing a paddle wheel with vanes blackened on one side and silvered on the other which spins rapidly when radiant heat impinges on it.Reynolds called this new effect "thermal transpiration". Maxwell gave a simple qualitative explanation in his report and in an appendix added to his own paper in May 1879 he developed a semiempirical theory accounting for it and for the radiometer effect.Maxwell's paper created the science of rarified gas dynamics. His formulas for stress and heat flux in the body of the gas were contributions of permanent value while his investigations of surface effects started a vast body of research extending to the present day.One other contribution of great beauty contained in notes added to the papwer in May and June 1879 was an application of the methods of spherical harmonic analysis to gas theory."DSB IX p. 224-25. </em> unknown

63966Paris: Union des chambres syndicales de l'industrie du pétrole 1962. Original colour-printed map of the world on Mercator's projection 99 x 120 cm highlighting the key oil producing regions. With inset maps of Venezuela North America and the Middle East along with a legend and diagrams. Old ownership inscription to upper right margin. Generally an excellent example with no soiling and bright colours. This wall-sized map depicts the global oil and gas industry with particular focus on the key producing regions. Orange circles show the key regions that produce oil stripes and gas crosshatched with the size of the circle representing the relative amount produced. The dark green and red areas are the oil and gas fields while the light green regions are sedimentary lands that are likely to contain petroleum. Six inset maps provide additional detail including a world map showing the regions with proven oil reserves and maps of Venezuela United States Middle East and Europe and northern Africa locating current pipelines pipeline projects and refineries. A line graph at bottom right shows the evolution of the primary sources of energy coal oil natural gas and hydraulic power worldwide between 1900-60. A scarce map with only three copies listed on OCLC at Cornell Kansas and Minnesota. Paris: Union des chambres syndicales de l'industrie du pétrole, 1962. unknown
