Beardslee was a designer and manufacturer of gas fixtures, electroliers, and combination fixtures with manufactory and salesrooms at 216, 218 and 220 South Jefferson Street, Chicago. This massive catalogue of electric light fixtures is printed upon glossy stock and includes 284 fifteen by twelve inch black and white photographic plates, numbered 222 through 506, each proudly displaying an average of three models for a total of over eight-hundred different offerings, complete with pricing, dimensions and other details. Plates 499-506 present photos and detailed drawings of a diverse assortment of shades, brass parts, lamps (bulbs), sockets, reflectors, glassware, etc. A two-page index indicates the plate upon which each model number can be found. Last page is a colour plate illustrating the nine colours of art glass used in the fixtures and shades illustrated. Binding intact. Minor warp to navy cloth front board which features brilliant silver decoration and lettering. Minor bits of writing upon dark brown front free endpaper. Copyright date underlined. No other markings. Fore-edges of boards degraded by decades-past moisture exposure which also affected almost the entire fore-edge of all pages with the result that approximately one-eighth to one-quarter inch of the coated paper has disintegrated. Fortunately, no text or images affected by this loss. On some pages, dampstaining inpacts up to one-quarter inch in from fore-edge, again with no impact to text or images. Presents a magnificent spectrum of American electric lighting from the early 1900s. Book

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 83 p. Chipped on extremities of pages and cover, minor stains on edges. Otherwise a good copy. First and only edition of this first work in book form on Baku and Azerbaijani oil. After the occupation of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the Red Army, many Azerbaijani intellectuals such as Mehmed Emin Resûlzâde (1884-1955) sought refuge in Turkey, established a publishing house called "Milli Azerbaycan Nesriyâti" [i.e. National Azerbaijan Publication] in 1928, Istanbul, and to make the voice of Azerbaijanis heard in exile to influence world public opinion. This book was published as the 9th publication of this publishing house. It was printed in Orhaniye Printing house in 1928 and was actually composed of the articles written by the author in the "Azeri-Turk" magazine. The first article appeared in the issue dated 15 August 1928, with other articles following it. The book, in which Mehmed Emin Rasülzade also penned a presentation, consists of the chapters: The Role of Oil in the World War, Azerbaijan at the Genoa Conference, Azerbaijan at the Hague Conference, the American Rivalry in Britain, A Common Front against the Bolsheviks, the Pursuits of the Oil Competition. Compiled from Mehdiyev's articles, is not only a propaganda work against the Russian occupation but also the first in-depth work written on Baku and Azerbaijan oil. Many sources in the text are referenced in footnotes. Mehdiyev says that world politics is shaped by the economy and oil is the most important factor in this context. In addition to expressing how important it is for the First World War, he also makes predictions about how oil will shape world politics in the future. According to Mehdiyev, whoever dominates the world's oil reserves will be the strongest state in the world. Based on M. Fanning, Mehdiyev states that Azerbaijani and Baku oil has an estimated 8 million barrels of resource rather than Mexican, American, Turkish, and Iranian oil.

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

(Reliure de l’époque). xxiv pp., 187 pp. - 7 superbes planches dépliantes gravées et finement aquarellées.ÉDITION ORIGINALE de cette traduction française. Elle est anonyme. La première édition en anglais a paru 1815, suivie la même année d’une 2e édition et d’une troisième revue et augmentée en 1816. L’édition française est faite sur la dernière. Un des livres majeurs du chimiste allemand Frédéric Accum (Bückebourg 1769 - Berlin 1838). En 1793 il s’établit à Londres comme assistant de la Maison Brande, pharmaciens du roi. En 1800 il ouvrit son propre laboratoire. En 1820 il fut pris alors qu’il mutilait des livres à la bibliothèque royale. Le scandale qui suivit l’obligea à fuir en Allemagne. Accum s’est appliqué à exploiter les progrès scientifiques pour des applications pratiques. Ses activités de professeur, auteur, directeur de laboratoire, chercheur et commerçant lui facilitèrent le succès à une époque où commençait de s’opérer la révolution industrielle.Son livre sur le gaz d’éclairage est un traité novateur extrêmement important. Accum entreprend le travail expérimental nécessaire à la validation du procédé de H. A. Winsor en 1804. Il devient ainsi le chimiste attitré de la Gas-light and Coke Company. qui obtint les plus importants marchés.

Very Good English Original bdg. 4to. (30 x 25 cm). In English. [4], 96 p., 7 folding plans of plants, drawn by T. Wood, one folded huge map in the end-pocket (size: 141x50 cm) showing proposed gas pipeline, Dodan to Raman (Batman), alternative routes of the area. Scarce and very detailed typewritten report on the piping and utilization of natural gas and oil in the Batman area of Turkey, prepared under the British Technical Assistance arrangements for the Turkish Petroleum Corporation (T.P.A.O.), in September 1969. "In response to a request from the Government of Turkey, this report has been prepared under the British Technical Assistance arrangements to advise the Turkish Petroleum Corporation (T.P.A.O.) in matters relating to the use of and piping of natural gas in the Batman area of Turkey." The Dodan gas field lies approx. 70 kilometers from Batman refinery and the Bati Raman Oil Field. This study investigates the economics of piping the gas from Dodan to Batman and the separation and utilization of the gas fractions.

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
