Chelsea fire real photo postcard archive documenting the destruction of civic religious medical and financial institutions in Chelsea outside of Boston Massachusetts after the November 1908 fire one of the most destructive urban fires in early twentieth century New England. This collection displays not only the ruined architecture but on the functions that had to be reestablished after the fire including places of worship schooling banking and medical care. Not only do these images display a developing New England city in ruins but the involvement of the surrounding community that was left displaced to pick up the pieces.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 12 silver gelatin real photo postcards each 3" x 5.5" Chelsea Massachusetts circa 1908. The cards show skeletal masonry walls roofless church towers leveled residential blocks ash fields and streets lined with stripped tree trunks and scattered debris.

"Ruins of Public Library" "Central Church from Broadway Chelsea Mass." "Ruins of Williams School & First Universalist Church Chelsea Mass." and "Remains of Frost Hospital."

195977046Oak Ridge TN: United States Atomic Energy Commission Technical Information Service 1959. Reproduced from the best available copy --believed contemporaneous with initial publication. Wraps. Good. iv 30 pages. Footnotes. 8 Charts. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ex-library with the usual library markings. This report includes narrative descriptions of accidents involving radiation reported to the Atomic Energy Commission by its contractors in 1957 and 1958. Data are also presented on occupational injuries and fatalities in all activities of the Atomic Energy Commission since the beginning of the AEC as a civilian agency Jan 1 1947 through Dec. 30 1958. Narrative descriptions are included on all fatal accidents during 1957 and 1958. The contents are: Industrial Injury Rates AEC Fatal Accident Experience A Summary of Accidents Involving Fatalities in Atomic Energy Activities 1957-58 Lost Time Injuries from Radiation and A summary of Accidents Involving Radioactive Materials in Atomic Energy Activities 1957-58. Where comparisons are made the latest data on injuries published by the National Safety Council were used. The Commission's injury rates taken as a whole including accidents involving nuclear radiation compare very favorably with the best rates in the National Safety Council's annual report. The over-all AEC injury frequency rate for several years has been second or third from the top. In most cases of strains and sprains workers were lifting improperly or failed to obtain proper assistance. Over 90 per cent of the fracture resulted either from workers falling from a different level or from falling objects striking the workers. The fatality rate was attributed to increased construction activity. It was noted that at all times the rate deaths per 100000 employees had been below the average industrial occupational fatality rate reported by the National Safety Council.

Short narrative descriptions of incidents involving radioactive materials have been separated from the total accident experience because of their special interest to the atomic energy industry.

A new table of inadvertent criticality situations is included in this supplement through the courtesy of Mr. William Stratton of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Also included in this supplement is a tabulation of exposure records at values from zero to 15 rems which reflects a measure of the control of radiation in the work places in Commission operations.

[EARTHQUAKE & FIRE -- SAN FRANCISCO STEREOGRAPH PHOTOS]. JOHNSON, Clinton (Photographer).Biblio.com

An exceptional group of 10 stereoview albumen photos of after-effects from the catastrophic 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire the devastation afterwards and relief efforts. Masonic Hall in the distance 21; Lick Baths 24; McCormick Building looking up Market Street 26; Looking down Folsom Street 29; Near corner of Battery and Front 35; General scene of devastation 38; Emporium from Jessie Street side 44; Refugees in line for relief 55; Ruins manufacturing district 64; Ruins Hopkins Institute Nob Hill 82.

190660850San Francisco & Los Angeles CA: Clinton Johnson 1906. Ten albumen mounted stereoview photos sized 6.4 x 3.25 in. mounted on 7 x 3.5 in. flat gray studio board mimeographed typescript title labels mounted on all versos most images w/ photographer’s imprint w/in the negative at lower fore-edge all w/ rounded corners very minor edgewear still a NF grouping. This outstanding group of very scarce albumen Woodbury-type stereograph photos vividly capture the widespread damage from the April 18 1906 earthquake and subsequent fires which destroyed over 80% of the city of San Francisco which at the time was the largest city on the West Coast. Nearly three-fourths of the population were left homeless and makeshift refugee camps in Golden Gate Park the Presidio the Panhandle and the beaches between Ingleside and North Beach operated for years after the disaster as the city rebuilt. Reconstruction and commercial activities began almost immediately with a couple of these images showing the roadways largely cleared of debris with piles of rubble and devastation spreading into the distance. Many of the images show gutted buildings advertising signs faintly visible in the ruined brick facades and immense piles of masonry and smoking ruins. One of the images capture groups of men hunkering down reading papers smoking and largely shell-shocked waiting in the refugee line for aid. The historic James Lick Baths are depicted in ruins ine one of the images and were rebuilt following the disaster utilizing as much of the original structure as possible in order to remain in operation and the facade was simplified from the original Richardson Romanesque Revival to Renaissance Revival and would operate as one of five public baths from 1906 to 1920. The structure was later converted to the People’s Laundry in operation until 1973. Another of the stereoviews depicts the remnants of the McCormick Hotel before it would later be destroyed along with all of the surrounding ruins by the US Army Corps of Engineers. In fact one sergeant of the battalion narrowly escaped death as the building collapsed while he was placing the charge in the basement. Johnson 1875-1948 appears in street directories in Los Angeles as photographer from 1896-1906 but appears on no census or business trade listings for the period and also managed to eschew registering for the draft. His stereograph series for the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire appears to be relatively uncommon and the only major institutional holdings are in the Bancroft library with 39 BANC PIC 1905.02074-.02118--STER however nearly all of the images in this collection are not represented. In addition these images correspond mostly closely in format to the Bancroft’s version which were issued with decorative printed boards and captions rubber stamped below while these do not bear the printed boards and captions are mounted on versos.

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 Childsâ€™ 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.
