190060562Buffalo NY: Kellogg Iron Works ca. 1900. Oblong 8vo. 9.5 x 6 in. 16 pp unpaginated. printed photo plate followed by plates of elevations and bridge plans. Original gray printed softcovers black lettering front cover minor corner chip to first page couple closed tears w/ minor repairs dustsoiling to fore-edges still a VG- copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce catalogue of touting “Kelloggâ€truss bridges which consisted of Pratt inner bracing with additional diagonals and were popular in the Northeast at the end of the 1800’s until about 1901-1905 spanning between 75 to 150 feet. These types of bridges played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile who favored sturdy durable bridges which could be easily maintained. These Kellogg truss bridges featured riveted steel trusses and were often anchored in stone foundations. Charles H. Kellogg the elder was an active bridge engineer and builder whose firm wen through several different configurations and owners between 1870-1915 while his son Charles H. Kellogg the younger operated his own company from 1891-1901 and should not be confused with the short-lived Kellogg Iron Bridge Works Co. which was using the Union Bridge Company’s shop.
