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

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.

Scarce little pamphlet with detailed county-by-county data from the previous three presidential elections in anticipation of what would be one of the most consequential elections in American history the 1860 context between Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. The pamphlet's purpose is two-fold however as it advertises sewing machines from the Grover and Baker company including numerous testimonials printed among the election data and also several engraved images of various models. Primarily an advertisement for the company produced at their expense but designed to hook in the politics junkie amid the fervor of the 1860 election. Perhaps a dozen copies located in OCLC and some of these may be digital holdings. Not separately catalogued by AAS. Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Co unknown
