193946634Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated. Quarto 26.5cm; black simulated leather stamped in red and gilt in brown paper slipcover; unpaginated photo-illustrated plates w/ rice paper overlays. Wear minor scuffs and soiling to boards; toning and foxing intermittent throughout text especially on overlays; some overlays creased or torn. Slipcover worn and chapped with abrasions and two large one repaired tears across front panel. Photo-illustrated pastedowns and endpapers. Very Good in Good slipcover. All text in Japanese with some obsolete/antiquated kana/kanji oriented right to left. This is a privately-issued commemorative yearbook-type photo album shashin-cho published on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army medical forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945. Specifically it was produced for those who served under military physician captains/commanding officers Nobuo Isa and Tetsuo Fukaya who were stationed in or near Shanghai at the time.<br /> <br /> By July 1939 the Imperial Japanese Army was beginning to feel the impact of its own mounting casualties and costs; the Chinese Red Army would launch a major offensive later that November. While the Japanese occupation of Shanghai was notably brutal there is little evidence of violence in this album. However some photographs do depict the aftermath of battle with ruined buildings and soldiers being treated for injuries. Other subjects are mundane in nature: Staff and group portraits hospitals and other facilities physicians at work company events and ceremonies. Also includes photographs of Shanghai and a fold-out map of the Hangzhou Bay area. Apparently not cataloged in OCLC or available commercially as of November 2019. Nishimura Company unknown
1960233821960. Industrial factory photograph archive documenting large scale machining systems automated tooling equipment and precision manufacturing processes during the height of postwar American industrial expansion circa 1960s. Several scenes feature Sundstrand branded machinery associated with the Sundstrand Corporation a major Rockford Illinois manufacturer of machine tools aerospace components and industrial automation systems during the Cold War industrial economy. By the 1960s American factories increasingly relied on massive numerically controlled machining equipment capable of producing aircraft parts turbine components and heavy industrial hardware with levels of precision unattainable in earlier manually operated machine shops. These photographs record the physical scale of that transition capturing the integration of computerized or semi automated production systems into factory environments that formed the backbone of aerospace defense transportation and heavy manufacturing industries during the period.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 9 Large Silver Gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" circa 1960s. Interior factory scenes show enormous industrial machining centers occupying tiled production floors beneath overhead lighting and exposed structural systems. Multiple photographs depict large circular indexing tables rotary cutting assemblies suspended tooling heads and enclosed control units bearing visible "Sundstrand" identification. Engineers and machinists wearing shop coats and protective glasses appear adjusting tooling mechanisms calibrating machine components and servicing cutting assemblies surrounded by heavy cables hydraulic systems and banks of industrial controls. Several machines are shown actively engaged in metal cutting operations with curled metal shavings accumulating beneath rotating tooling heads and across surrounding platforms. One scene captures technicians removing or fitting a large machined component beneath a circular cutting apparatus while another documents reel based electronic control equipment integrated into the production system reflecting the growing use of automated process control in industrial manufacturing during the decade.<br /> <br /> The 1960s marked a decisive transformation in American manufacturing as industries shifted from conventional machining toward automated and numerically controlled production methods capable of supporting aerospace engineering military procurement automotive manufacturing and mass industrial output. Companies such as Sundstrand played a central role in supplying the specialized tooling and machine systems that allowed factories to machine increasingly complex metal components at industrial scale. Some curling scattered edge and surface wear as well as foxing to margins; images remain sharp with strong detail. Overall in good condition. The photographs preserve direct visual evidence of the machinery labor practices and production environments that defined late midcentury industrialization before many such facilities were modernized outsourced or dismantled during later waves of deindustrialization. unknown

1950233261950. Garment factory photographs documenting women's industrial sewing labor machine based apparel production and managerial oversight in the postwar United States circa 1950s with direct evidence of how mass clothing manufacture depended on large sewing rooms specialized equipment and gendered factory work. Archive documents the production floor as a working system rather than a single portrait scene placing rows of women at Pfaff machines beside piles of cut or partly finished garments while a separate executive portrait and staged equipment views link shop floor labor to administration and industrial sales culture. The group matters because postwar clothing production relied heavily on women's wage labor in factories where speed repetition and machine specialization turned fabric into standardized output for a growing consumer economy.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 5 Large silver gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" circa 1950s. Two photographs show the main sewing room from wider angles with long rows of women seated at machine stations beneath suspended electric lines and task lighting while large heaps of striped fabric or finished garments spill across tables and benches in the foreground. The workers are positioned close together in a dense production space organized around straight runs of tables and sewing heads with little separation between labor stations and material flow. One photograph isolates a woman operating a large Pfaff industrial unit in a cleaner demonstration setting while another gives a close technical view of a Pfaff machine head and work plate. A fifth photograph shows an older male executive or manager seated in an office.<br /> Postwar apparel production expanded through factories that combined assembly line logic with skilled but repetitive needlework and women formed a large share of that labor force in garment plants across the United States. The Pfaff machines represent the technological side of production while the sewing room views show the human structure that made the machines profitable with women handling fabric continuously at closely arranged stations under managerial control. Light handling wear and minor curling to edges. Overall very good condition. The archive preserves the relationship between labor machinery and output at a moment when industrial clothing manufacture still depended on concentrated factory work before later shifts toward overseas production transformed the industry. unknown
1945234071945. Reading Pennsylvania factory photo archive documenting textile machinery production and hosiery manufacturing work circa late 1940s to early 1950s at or near the Wyomissing industrial complex associated with Textile Machine Works and Berkshire Knitting Mills. Reading became one of the major American centers for full fashioned knitting machinery after Ferdinand Thun and Henry Janssen founded Textile Machine Works in 1892 and the equipment seen here belongs to the world of stocking manufacture before seamless nylon hosiery reshaped the industry in the 1950s.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 17 large silver gelatin photographseach 8 x 10 inches Reading or Wyomissing Pennsylvania circa 1940s to early 1950s. Rows of large knitting machines fill long factory rooms under fluorescent lighting; workers stand beside circular or braiding machinery marked with chalked Greek words; an engineering office includes men studying large technical drawings; machine tools metal stock exterior factory buildings tanks and utility structures place the scenes within a large industrial plant. Several versos are stamped "Paul Bauer Photographer 608 Franklin St. Reading Pa." and "Photo by Paul Bauer." Several shop-floor views include a chalked Greek vocabulary list beside the machinery a striking detail in a Reading industrial region that had an established Greek immigrant community by the early twentieth century.<br /> <br /> The archive records the machinery workers drafting practices and plant environment behind Pennsylvania's textile machinery economy at the point when American hosiery manufacturing still depended on large specialized mechanical systems and skilled shop labor. Documenting the production floors machine details engineering rooms workers and exterior plant views. Minor edge and curling; images remain clear and well preserved. Overall in very good condition. unknown
