Original limp brown calf 6-ring binder yapp edges & rounded corners w/ Company name embossed in gilt on front cover minor rubbing shelfwear very minor soiling to lower fore-edge front cover still a VG copy. First edition of this very scarce salesman’s catalogue of maritime diesel engines and stationary diesel engines for generating electricity in factories and power plants. The catalogue begins photos of the Superior Diesel Engine factory in Springfield OH shop views of engines under construction as well as the research & development laboratory. Models 40 50 60 & 80 Superior Diesel Engines are illustrated with cut-away views pistons fuel injection pumps and more. Of particular interest are the extensive typed manuscript customer list for this Superior Engine salesman encompassing such companies as Astoria North Beach Ferry Enterprise Machine Works in Ketchikan AK Pt. Adams Packing Co. in Hammond OR Puget Sound Tug & Barge Co. in Seattle WA Foss Launch & Tug in Tacoma & Seattle Yaquina Bay Fish Co. in Newport OR Diesel Towing Co. in Portland OR Tucson Gas Electric Light & Power Hines Lumber Co. in Hines OR Salt River Valley Water Users Assoc. in Phoneix AZ and over 150 others. Superior was founded in 1889 by Patrick Shouvlin who was servicing oil field equipment and quickly grew. In the 1890s his shop adopted the Superior Company name and later made arrangements with National Supply Company to distribute and market their engines. He initially produced gas engines that would run on the plentiful natural gas being produced in the Lima Ohio area at the time replacing steam which was costly to operate and maintain as well as much more dangerous. His engine was well-received and became the standard for pumping oil in the United States. Superior was purchased by National Supply in 1929 and later by White Motors in 1955. No copies located in Worldcat or NUC and printed notice indicates that the salesman was charged $ 100.00 for the book to be refunded when returned.

This manuscript thesis details the testing and evaluation of the newly developed Parsons Steam Turbine which was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884 and revolutionized engineering across many fields in the Victorian era. His turbine extracted thermal engineering from pressurized steam allowing a rotating output shaft especially suited for driving electrical generators. In 1897 just four years before this work was researched and published the Parsons engine was applied to the ship Turbinia the first ship powered by the very successful enginer. Ehrhart 1874-1941 & Cardullo 1879-1938 were both electrical engineering students at Cornell University. After graudation Ehrhart became an electrical engineer with expertise in turbines for Westinghouse in Pittsburgh and by the end of World War I Ehrhart was a manager of the Elliott Electrical Engineering Company in Edgewood PA nice suburb of Pittsburgh. Cardullo became a professor of mechanical engineering wrote on thermodynamics and later worked as the chief draftsman of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co. before becoming the head of engineering testing for the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co. in Buffalo NY.

1902152261902. Anonymous. Technical manuscript on early automobile engineering circa 1905 to 1915 documenting the foundational mechanical and electrical principles that shaped European motor production during its formative decades. Written in French and progressing from theoretical foundations to applied engine analysis the text reflects the rapid professionalization of automotive engineering in the years following the establishment of firms such as Hispano Suiza in 1902. Headings including "Concepts mécaniques élémentaires" and "Concepts élémentaires d'électricité" introduce structured treatments of ignition systems magnetos carburetors cooling mechanisms starting systems and multi cylinder crankshaft design. Several pages are devoted to the Hispano twelve cylinder V engine noting: "Dans le moteur de Hispano 12 cylindres en V. chaque rangée composée d'un seul bloc en aluminium qui comprend la chambre de combustion. Les soupapes sont réglées à chaud et sont en acier nitruré" emphasizing aluminum block construction and nitrided steel valves. The manuscript captures a technological transition from experimental motor carriages to precision engineered touring and racing automobiles situating engineering knowledge within the broader industrial modernization of early twentieth century France.<br /> <br /> Anonymous. Technical manuscript in notebook form. No place circa 1905 to 1915. Fifty four handwritten pages in an 8 x 10 inch notebook extensively illustrated with pen drawn schematics sectional diagrams and labeled mechanical studies. Accompanied by a contemporary printed automobile exhibition advertisement approximately 14 x 11 inches featuring Hispano Suiza and other marques with illustrated coachbuilt body styles.<br /> <br /> The structured progression from elementary theory to detailed mechanical application suggests disciplined technical study at a moment when automobile engineering was emerging as a specialized scientific field. Drawings detailing carburation systems electrical current generation spark plug ignition twelve cylinder crankshafts and coachbuilder configurations reflect the integration of metallurgy electrical innovation and luxury design characteristic of the period. The inclusion of motor show ephemera situates the notebook within the culture of early twentieth century industrial exhibitions where technological advancement and commercial display intersected. Minor edge wear to notebook covers and light toning to pages consistent with age; manuscript clean and legible throughout. Overall condition: very good. unknown
191961612Utica NY: O.J. Childs Co. Fire Apparatus 138 Liberty ca. 1919-1922. 4to. 36 leaves unnumbered. linen-backed silver gelatin photos some hinged most negative numbers w/in negative at lower fore-edge all w/ typed captions & identifying text on versos a few w/ caption on recto below the image. Contemporary black-simulated calf vinyl 3-ring loose-leaf binder rounded corners yapp fore-edges minor edgewear & fraying to some of the linen backing on images minor occasional creasing indications of use wear & bumping to covers still a VG exemplar. This uncommon salesman sample photo album includes excellent original photographs of many significant O.J. Childs Co. fire engines and firefighting equipment manufactured in Utica NY following World War I. These factory images encompass Type “B†Triple Combination on REO chassis; Triple Combination Pump Chemical & Hose Car on Federal 1 1/2 ton chassis; Straight Chemical Equipment o 1921 Brookway 1 1/2 ton chassis; and many other variations thereof. O.J. Childs built their own engines like American-La France because commercial truck engines not only lacked the torque but also the endurance to drive a fire pump for hours without overheating or damaging pistons connecting rods and valves. The images include fire engines supplied to the Morristown NJ Basking Ridge NJ Winsted CT Orenda Hose Co. Griffith IN East Greenwich NJ Mt. Carmel PA Loch Sheldrake NY and many others. Also used by the Childs’ Co. customers were such manufacturers as Dodge-Graham Ford pleasure chassis Packard Model EX White 20-45 Chassis a Ward-La France and many more. Orlando J. Childs organized the O.J. Childs Co. Fire Apparatus in 1899 to take over the business of the Utica Fire Extinguisher Co. who were best known for their chemical fire extinguishers designed and patented originally in 1896-97 by William Pomfret and Thomas Keating. They quickly began actively selling fire extinguishers to businesses individuals and even specialized on fire extinguishers for early automobile enthusiasts during the Brass Era who suffered frequent engine fires. After producing their first Triple Combination Pump Wagon about 1910 they quick espanced into ready-made chemical tank truck fire-engines for rural fire departments. Wallace Childs acquired the Foamite Firefoam Co. in New York in 1922 and in 1926 the entire company was acquired and became a subsidiary of American-La France Fire Engine Co.
