18372321Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1837. In-4 – 22,5 x 29 cm. Broché. 172 pages, 1 carte dépliante en 2 parties. Edition originale. Ouvrage complet de sa grande « Carte Générale des tracés du Chemin de Fer de Lyon à Marseille » très détaillée (150 x 57cm). On découvre le tracé proposé sur la rive droite du Rhône, rehaussé en vert, et celui sur la rive gauche du Rhône, rehaussé en rouge, les deux se rejoignant à Tarascon puis poursuivant par Arles et les Martigues. Un tracé alternatif de la rive gauche, rehaussé en jaune, entre la Durance et Marseille, envisage une bifurcation à partir d’Avignon en passant par Orgon, Salon, Aix, Fuveau, Aubagne et la vallée de l’Huveaune. Mathurin François Kermaingant (1779-1856) est un ingénieur originaire du Nord de la France. Il intègre l'école des Ponts et Chaussées en 1800. Quatre ans plus tard, il est affecté au service de route de la Drôme. Il quitte ce département pour celui du Rhône en 1810, puis y revient en 1821, pour 3 années. C'est dans la Sarthe qu'il poursuit sa carrière à partir de 1824. A la demande du gouvernement, il pilote la commission d'étude sur un futur chemin de fer dans la vallée du Rhône en 1833. Il suggère de nombreuses variantes de tracés. En 1836, il est nommé ingénieur en chef. Il quitte le sud de la France puis s'occupe du chemin de fer de Paris à Versailles.

1841754Pittsburgh 1841. About very good. 48pp. Large folio. Contemporary half reverse-calf and blue paper boards. Wear to corners and spine ends boards soiled. Leaves reinforced at gutter margin with tape some light soiling. In a clear and legible hand. This ledger records the register and pay information for approximately thirty-five men who worked at the Birmingham Iron Works from 1836 to 1841. The "Register of Hands That Work by the Ton" records each man's name his wage days worked how much tonnage and his job description. The Iron Works supported an engineer a blacksmith a watchman refiners heaters carters rollers puddlers bricklayers and some men simply described as laborers. The number of employees varies from year to year ranging from thirty to forty-five or so with many men listed as steady employees year after year. Also tucked in the front of the volume is a slim gathering of sheets labeled in manuscript as "Balance of Property Debts Goods & Chattels of the firm of Hoge & Hartman Iron Manufacturers Pittsburgh Jany. 2nd 1840." This lists receivables and debts for that company which was one of several iron works in the area by 1840. Located south of the Allegheny near 16th Street the Birmingham Iron Works was founded in 1836. It had twenty single puddling furnaces five heating furnaces and produced bar iron rounds hoops bands and other forms of iron. There works were active from 1836 to 1871 and averaged 9000 tons of production per year. This ledger therefore encompasses the first years of its operation and is an early record not only for the company but for the region in terms of iron production which would eventually lead to the steel boom that made Pittsburgh prosperous -- and Andrew Carnegie insanely wealthy. An excellent source for the labor history of the steel industry in Pittsburgh. unknown books

Near Fine with light rubbing to binding pages toned and with occasional instances of light spotting.
