ARCHITECTURE GLASS PANEL HEATING. DAVIS Ralph J.
Glassheat by Continental: heated with radiant electric heating. Salesman sample photo portfolio for Glassheat radiant heaters with images of many Mid-Century Modern homes exteriors and interiors in the Pacific Northwest and California.
New York NY & Boise ID: Continental Radiant Glass Heating Corp. ca. 1954. Oblong 4to. 21 leaves unnumbered mylar sleeves including 21 silver gelatin photographs 20 sized 8 x 10 in. many w/ multiple images w/in the photo 1 sized 5 x 7 in.; several w/ text w/in negative others w/ photographers stamps on versos. Recent post-binder gilt stamping on front cover screw posts at gutter margin NF. An exceptional and scarce salesman sample photograph portfolio for the Continental Radiant Glass Company which specialized in tempered glass electric radiant heating panels which could be installed below windows in walls ceilings laboratories and more. First manufactured by Continental after World War II these radiant heating units featured glass element panels made from tempered glass with their circuit spray painted or painted on backs of the units offering soothing war infrared radiant heat in a variety of applications. The panels were durable and offered years of much lower priced heating bills and proved popular in the decades after World War II. These photos show product displays and equipment at the Grant County Fair and other trade shows as well as a Dodge panel van delivery truck for Radiant Glassheat Inc. of Seattle. Also included are a night shot of a window display in downtown Vancouver WA next to the Lotus Cafe along with satisfied customers such as the Needles Municipal Hospital the Standard Oil Co. of California Culver City Plant offices Ray Dull’s Mid-Century ranch home in Oroville WA a luxurious Mid-Century Modern home in Salt Lake City UT -- the “All Electric†model home and others. Over time the panels would eventually crack and the elements cease working and many of the companies including Continental later ceased manufacturing the tempered glass panels. However a number of companies have recently begun producing similarly sized and durable ceramic heat elements which easily can fit into the original radiant heaters. Davis 1899-1988 was longtime salesman and electrician and owner of Radiant Glassheat of Boise Inc. which also owned the electrical heating and ventilation branch in Seattle WA. Several of the photos were shot by Forde Photographers in Seattle WA which included Art Forde John Hardin and Dick Cameron and are best remembered for their many photographs taken for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair Century 21 Exposition. No similar collections of images on Worldcat; See: Peter Tonge Radiant Glass Heat -- One Way to Cut Excessive Heat Cost Christian Science Monitor Jan. 14 1981; Radiant Heater Robert L. Needham and Continental Radiant Glass Heating Corporation New York Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office Vol. 902 Sept. 12 1972 p. 686. Continental Radiant Glass Heating Corp., unknown

The impression made by the copper engraving plates is clearly present on each page but for reasons unknown the 33 architectural pages have been folded into quadrants presumably following the printing and prior to binding. Some pages have short breaks in the horizontal fold at the free edge and the last eight pages have an 8 inch triangulated fold extending from the middle of the free edge to the page bottom close to the bound edge. Text at beginning of volume printed on laid paper while the architectural plates are printed on wove paper. The volume has suffered from unfortunate maintenance with small soiling spots on two plates. Amazingly the other 31 plates remain overall in good condition. An impressive architectural study. .

ARCHITECTURE AMERICAN OPTICAL COMPANY PHOTO ALBUMS. WELLS Channing M. WELLS Albert B. & WELLS J. Cheney.
Interesting group of two photo albums with 94 silver gelatin photographs documenting the construction of the famed Lensdale optical factory and adjacent power plant whose innovative design with large windows to allow generous amounts of natural lighting were constructed entirely of cement to be fireproof. The Southbridge MA plant was the largest in the United States at the time of its completion.
Southbridge MA: American Optical Co. Construction Dept. 1909-1915. Two vols. Oblong 4to. 10.75 x 7.5 in. 50; 50 pp unpaginated. on thick black paper stock with 83 silver gelatin photographs tipped-in sized 5 x 7 in. many dated w/in the negative 1 RPPC w/ split-back laid-in 11 loose photographs 3 linen backed sized from 7 x 9 in. up to 8 x 10 in. some chipping minor creasing edgewear couple with closed tears. Photo albums w/ Eastman Kodak Forum Album B labels on rear pastedowns minor edgewear slight scuffing still VG exemplars. These albums include historic photographs documenting the construction of the new Lensdale factory power plant and dam from 1909 through 1910 across the Quinebaug River from the main plant in Southbridge Massachusetts. At the time the American Optical Co. was one of the largest and most respected optical companies in the world whose original factory was a converted textile mill. The first of the loose images shows the original plant with its Second Renaissance Revival front and clock tower in the distance with newly graveled road and construction just beginning. The remaining images show the tremendous construction project of erecting this massive fireproof structure built of reinforced concrete with floor to roof windows designed by engineers Samuel T. McIntosh and Albert B. Wells. The earliest photos dated 1909 show the grading of the site building the foundation forms construction of the dam erection of the walls to hold the massive windows pouring of the cement floors for each story and even the steam locomotive used on site. In addition the images show the construction of the steam chimney for the power plant erection of the power plant walls the final stages of the dam to power the the plant and finally the second floor stock room in 1915. By 1910 American Optical was employing over 2000 workers in and around Southbridge producing over 600000 gold/silver optical glass and lens framers per year and would evnetually be the supplier for US Troops and Allied forces in World War I. American Optical pioneered hidden bifocal lenses rimless frames Crookes glass Calobar Sun Glasses with UV protections and later the original sunglasses worn by Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew. By 1992 American Optical relocated manufacturing operations to Mexico moved its heaquarters to San Diego and the site was demolished by the US Department of Defense only retaining the historic factory facade in Southbridge’s downtown center.
