‎Diesel, Rudolf‎

‎Signed Manuscript Letter in German By the Inventor of Diesel, Concerning the Installation of a Gas Engine.‎

‎Rudolf Diesel's retained copy of his own signed manuscript letter to Samuel Breslauer, concerning the installation of a gas engine. Text is in German. 4to. Two single leafs, 2 pages of text on onion skin paper measuring approximately 30 x 24 cm. Minor age-toning, otherwise in very good condition. In this correspondence, Diesel describes alterations being made to the design of his first prototype, making comments on the compressor, transmission, and the lighting system (ignition), among other things. The second prototype, described here, would be built by October the same year. The specific plan for this engine model is noted in the upper margin: Plan F.B.930. Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel (1858-1913), needing no introduction, was a German inventor and mechanical engineer who is world-famous for having invented the Diesel engine. At the time of this letter, Diesel was diligently working on altering and perfecting his 1893 engine design. This design would later be known as the diesel engine. The first prototype Motor 150/400, had been completed 12 July 1893. Initial tests proved it to be a successful concept. By October 1895, after the first prototype had been converted into the second prototype Motor 220/400. After testing, and always seeking to improve, again it was decided that a completely new engine had to be designed from scratch. On 20 February 1896, Krupp, Maschinenfabrik Augsburg, and Diesel, decided to start the development of the new engine. The new engine was supposed to be a 250 mm bore engine with a 400 mm stroke. On 5 March 1896, Diesel filed a patent application for supercharging; on 26 March, it was decided to build the new engine with a supercharger. In order to improve the efficiency of the development process, a new design bureau was built directly into Diesel's Augsburg testing laboratory. Several young engineers worked there, including Imanuel Lauster. On 30 April 1896, after Lauster had completed the drawings, the workshop at Augsburg began making parts for the engine. The first successful Diesel engine Motor 250/400, designed by Rudolf Diesel, was officially tested in 1897 by German industrial engineer Moritz Schröter. Schröter concluded, "we are beholding a quite marketable machine that has been thoroughly designed with great attention to every single detail." At this time, several firms bought licences for building legal copies of the Motor 250/400. It is now on display at the German Technical Museum in Munich. The recipient of the correspondent is Samuel Breslauer (1870-1942), a lawyer, journalist and editor, who rose to be head of the Politics department for the Berlin newspaper "Berliner Lokal Anzeiger", a daily newspaper with one of the highest national circulations of its time. Breslauer is remembered as one of the numerous Jews who were captured and deported camp during the holocaust. Surely his public role would have made him an immediate target by the German extremist leader. In August 1942, Breslauer and his wife Bertha were taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp where they both died, she within four days.‎

‎Routledge. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0415086205 . Book is fine. 1 small chip to DJ. DJ has very minor shelfwear. ; 344 pages; The most up-to-date history of Greek literature from its Homeric origins to the age of Augustus. Greek literary production throughout this period of some eight centuries is embedded in its historical and social context and Professor Dihle sees this literature as a historical phenomenon a particular mode of linguistic communication with its specific forms developing both in an organic way and in response to the changing world around. In this it differs from conventional humanist approaches to Greek and Latin literature which analyse the works as objects of timeless value independent of any historical setting or purpose. This magisterial survey by one of the leading European authorities on classical literature will establish itself as it already has in Germany as the standard account of the subject. .

Some creasing to DJ with a bit of staining to rear wrap. ; Professor Dihle sees the Greek and Latin literature between the 1st century B. C. And the 6th century A. D. As an organic progression. He builds on Schlegel's observation that art customs and political life in classical antiquity are inextricably entwined and therefore should not be examined separately. Dihle does not simply consider narrowly defined `literature' but all works of cultural socio-historical significance including Jewish and Christian literature philosophy and science. Despite this major authors like Seneca Tacitus and Plotinus are considered individually. This work is an authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature. ; 656 pages .

Di edebiyata Kurdî de jî ev cure ferheng çend heb hatine amadekirin.

Evan ferhengên navborî, bi Kurdî-Erebî, Farisî-Erebî yan Kurdî-Erebî-Farisî ne, lê di nav vana de Tirkî-Kurdî/Kurdî-Tirkî tunene; îcar nivîskarê vê berhemê Dilbikulê Cizîrî jî, îlhama xwe ji Nûbihara Biçûkan ya Ehmedê Xanî girtiye û li ser rêça wî mesiyaye. Yanî çawa ku Xanî ferhenga xwe bi Erebî-Kurdî ji bo zarokên Kurmancan bi awayê kêsa erûzê ristiye, herweha ewî jî ya xwe bi Tirkî-Kurdî/Kurdî-Tirkî ji bo mezinên Kurmancan amade kiriye û navê wê kiriye Nûbihara Mezinan. Di vê Nûbihara Mezinan de, pênc behrên/qalibên erûzê, 3337 malik, 13.104 peyvên Kurdî û 8268 peyvên Tirkî hene. The tradition of dictionaries written in verse is a significant line of work in classical literature. This genre is found in the ancient literature of several Muslim nations. It could be observed in recent studies that this tradition continued in classical Kurdish literature, and there are several examples in Turkish literature as well as Arabic and Persian literatures. This literary genre has been authored mainly due to significant factors such as teaching language to children, formation of a literary taste, establishing a basis for madrasah education by improving the ability to rote, preparation for Qur'anic terminology, and familiarizing the students with the aruz prosody in early ages. Naturally, among these reasons, increasing the vocabulary of children, especially in the early years, could be considered as one of the objectives for this genre. Furthermore, it could be argued that these dictionaries have performed important functions in terms of establishing a foundation for a foreign language (which was mostly Arabic). While these works have been regarded as functional educational material especially for those who attend Islamic science studies in the past, today, they unfortunately exist solely as important historical-literary works that only researchers are interested in. It is extremely important that these work, where each work documents important topics such as culture, history and daily life, should be transferred to younger generations through such publications. This dictionary is Dilbikulê Cizîrî's 'Nûbihara Mezinan' (the spring of the ancestors), a Turkish-Kurdish dictionary written in verse. This work is one of eight known dictionaries written in verse in classical Kurdish literature. The work, written to familiarize Turks with the Kurdish language and specially to teach Turkish language to Kurds who do not speak Turkish, aimed to teach the basic words and rules of both languages to adults and children, and to provide advice on religious and ethical affairs. Furthermore, the oeuvre is worth consideration and investigation due to the structure of the method utilized in the work, the volume of the dictionary, and the words prioritized in teaching the language. There's weight and significance of this dictionary in the lexicon tradition which is an important genre in classical Turkish and Kurdish literature. (Source: Ertekin: JOsR, 17.).‎
