19701272<p>Boxed board game gameboard instructions 23 deeds cards dice 4 black pawns 5 white pawns 26 cardboard "black power" strips play money ; box 30 x 23 x 6 cm. Very good. Contents loose in box with formed Styrofoam compartments. 1272</p><p><em>A game designed to spread awareness of structural racism though role play. Blacks & Whites was created to highlight economic injustices against African Americans and to promote societal change. The original version which made it impossible for the black players to win was highly controversial. After testing the game further with multiracial participants Psychology Today redesigned the scenario issuing new rules that allowed black players to give extra bonus cards to a brother or sister and encouraging solidarity between black players through property swapping and personal loans. Black players then became the agents of change and the game came to emphasize the absurdity of living in different worlds while playing on the same board. "Originally published as a free game insert with paper board and unmounted cards that had to be cut out in the March 1970 issue of Psychology Today magazine which simultaneously advertised a version in a long cardboard box with better components and play money for $5.95 'Blacks & Whites' was a socially-conscious game which not only reflected the signs of the times but was also meant to effect change. In a sense it was something more akin to a social experiment and performance art in game form" --Boardgamegeek.com.

Dalton 1866-1926 was a successful amateur mechanic and businessman who was brought into developing the first adding machine by William & Hubert Hopkins who desperately needed money to finance their manufacturing. They set up a company in 1902 but afterwards through some secret and possibly illegal business moves by Hopkins who secretly sold his stock to the Addograph Co. Dalton managed to buy control of all rights to produce and develop adding machines and patented the invention by 1904. He would often carry a large sample machine with him fitted with glass sides to show the workings demonstrating his calculating machine becoming so successful that by 1922 over 150 models were available and over 50000 machines sold.

18908Archive consists of the trade catalog art work for cloth finishing and packaging machinery built by the Parks & Woolson Machine Co. of Springfield VT. The earliest art work 1890s was executed by the Lincoln & Smith Press of Boston then the James McKinnon Co. designers engravers and electrotypers of Springfield Mass. but all the 1920s work was by the Springfield Photo-Engraving Co. which may have been their successors. The normal procedure was for the artist to take a photograph in the earlier versions a mounted studio photograph then a "blue" from a glassplate negative then a glossy black & white photo and interpret it according to instructional notation. In the earlier work this was done by painting right on the photograph. But the 1920s work the majority of the collection is painted on separate board with tissue overlay. Some of the latest versions also have photographic proofs of the printing plate made from the artwork. In the marginal notes appear the names of some of Parks & Woolson's clients for specific machines: Renfrew Manufacturing Co.; Clinton Woolen Mfg. Co.; Lebanon Woolen Mills; Woonsocket Rubber Co.; Farr Alpaca Co. The names of such machines as have titles show the inheritance from the English textile manufacturing trade: Lancashire Winder and Uxbridge Inspecting Machine or their origin in the United States: the Vermont napper or the Pennsylvania plush shear and occasionally the inventor: Baird Webster P.T. Wilson etc. Parks & Woolson themselves were fond of strange combination words to describe their own multi-stage machines: Seamlethru; Transferotor. This archive shows in great detail the changes in a wide range of machinery to finish and fold or roll cloth over a crucial period in the textile industry as well as illuminating the interpretation of a machine photograph for half-tone duplication.
