1900205091900. EngineeringInvention and Business Felt Dorr Eugene. British Patents for Improvements in Calculating Machines 1900-1904 document the development of one of the earliest commercially successful key-driven mechanical calculators reflecting the rapid mechanization of clerical labor at the turn of the twentieth century. These patents relate to the Comptometer first introduced in 1890 by the Chicago firm Felt and Tarrant and represent the extension of American technology into British commercial and financial systems. Banking insurance railways and trade demanded increasingly rapid numerical computation at the turn of the century meaning mechanical calculation was becoming integral to infrastructure.<br /> <br /> Calculating Machines. British Patents: together 2 patents. Patent No. 19675 1900 includes 3 pages and 3 folding diagrams; Patent No. 13094 1904 includes 11 pages and 5 folding diagrams. 1900-1904. The 1900 patent specification describes modifications "intended to adapt such machines to be used in making calculations in British money" addressing the complexities of pounds shillings and pence within a decimal-based mechanical framework. The 1904 patent details improvements to the Comptometer's registering wheels refining accuracy and mechanical efficiency. These documents trace the technical evolution of Felt's invention whose origins lay in his 1885 "macaroni box" prototype and whose commercial success positioned the Comptometer as a principal rival to Burroughs calculators in the early twentieth century. Together the specifications and folding diagrams provide primary evidence of iterative design in early computing machinery and the formal legal mechanisms through which intellectual property structured industrial competition.<br /> <br /> Disbound some leaves loose. Overall very good. As working technical documents issued during a formative period in mechanical computation these patents illuminate the foundations of modern calculating technology in the pre-electronic era. unknown

1882081713a0619Cleveland Ohio: The Prospect Machine and Engine Co. 1882. Hardcover. Very Good. 5 x 7 1/4. 153 pages. Great illustrations of machinery. "Steam Engine & Machine Builders Iron Founders Etc." I found 1882 in this book on three pages but the publication date is probably about 1885. The pages have 'cut away indexed tabs' for locating specific products etc. An old ownership has been mostly erased but it appears that the date erased was 1887. SOME ILLUSTRATIONS OF MACHINERY ARE FOLD-OUTS. I can find no reference on google except for an ad dated 1887 which mentions the 'formerly' reference in the title.
