Cloth. In 1967 NREC created an innovative program to automate design and analysis of Radial Turbomachinery and published the results in two volumes. Volume I was a theoretical treatment of the system "A Computing System for the Design and Analysis of Radial Turbomachinery Vol 1: Bases and Capabilities of the System". Volume II dealt with the computer program itself. In 1972 Volume 2 originally issued as a large format paperback was re-issued in 2 volumes IIA and IIB both in hardcover for ease of use. We offer here Volume IIB ONLY containing the sample program that illustrates the overall operation of the program.

Scoop circulation is a method of circulating condensing water in such a manner that the moderate speed of a ship will cause a projection to "scoop" sea water into the condenser without the use of the circulating pump.

Moderate wear to binding rubbing to leather at edges some scuffing. Minor bowing to photos and covers 1 laid-in photograph more significantly edge-worn and age-toned. Withal a VG example. 43 b/w photographic leaves 5 laid in. 48 original silver-gelatin photos 7.25" x 9.5" exhibiting the factory assembly floor testing area wide range of liquid ring vacuum pumps and the numerous industries commercial buildings and homes in which they were installed. Photographs all with typed identification information & captions on verso a couple with stamps at lower fore-edge of image. Oblong format: 8" x 11" <br/><br/>This exceptional salesman sample photo album for the Nash Engineering Company in South Norwalk CT provides an excellent visual history of this pioneering producer of liquid ring vacuum pumps. Although their vital importance to the modern age remains mostly unrecognized the liquid ring pump revolutionized water heating electric power and sewage systems pulp and papaer production and proved absolutely vital in gas extraction and many other general industrial applications in the 20th century. These unsung workhorses are essential to modern physical plant systems. Nash 1852-1923 invented the liquid ring vacuum pump and was the holder of over 100 US patents for pumps engines water meters and other equipment. He founded the Nash Engineering Company in 1905 and by 1914 filed the US patent for the liquid ring vacuum pump which he had first employed in the reinforced concrete factory he built at Wilson Point Road shown here in the photos. The photos also show the testing department test plant vacuum pumps in the storehouse and the test room switch board. The photos lavishly illustrate many pumps with varying horsepower and applications such as those to maintain condenser vacuum on large steam turbine generators those used on paper machines to dewater paper pulp slurry and extract water from press felt fabrics as well as those that could be applied to molded pulp products. Of particular interest are the many photos of pumps installed for physical plant systems in such buildings as the Sherman Hotel Chicago IL; boiler room of the Ohio River Edison Company; Price Brothers COmpany Ltd. Quebec Canada; Chatsworth Apartments 72nd & Riverside NY; Cunard Building 25 Broadway NY and many others. Of interest are the photos of the Nash display at the Industrial Exposition Grand Central Palace NY in 1914 as well as the award granted to the Nash Engineering Company by the War Department during World War I for their material assistance in obtaining the victory of the allies.
