Zt. mit montiertem Titelschild auf dem Vorderdeckel. [8 Warenabbildungen]‎

‎"Die Lekbrücke bei Culemborg... ist im Jahre 1868 in Betrieb genommen worden (und) ist vor allem wegen folgender drei Eigenschaften bemerkenswert: 1. wegen der Verwendung einer neuen Stahlsorte, 2. wegen ihrer lange Zeit unerreicht großen Stützweite, 3. wegen des Gebrauchs der Halbparabelform in beträchtlichen Dimensionen." (Pottgießer). - Die aus Bessemer Flußstahl errichtete Brücke im Deltagebiet des Rheins liegt auf der Eisenbahnstrecke von Utrecht nach s'Hertogenbosch u. Boxtel. Der niederländische Ingenieur Gerrit van Diesen (1826-1916) hat sie im Rahmen seiner Verantwortung für die gesamte Strecke konstruiert. Seine Arbeit wurde auf der Wiener Weltausstellung 1873 mit der Goldenen Medaille belohnt. Zwischen 1863 u. 1868 wurde sie von der bekannten Brückenbauanstalt von Johann Caspar Harkort errichtet. Bei einer Gesamtlänge von 670 m besteht die Brücke aus sieben Öffnungen von je 57 m lichter Weite im Überschwemmungsgebiet, einer Öffnung von 80 m lichter Weite sowie der großen Hauptöffnung von 154,40 m, "die lange Zeit die weitestgespannte Balkenbrücke" der Welt gewesen ist (Lueger). - Die Tafeln zeigen für alle drei Öffnungen Gesamtan- u. Gesamtaufsicht (Maßstab 1:100 u. 1:200), Seitenaufrisse der Gesamtkonstruktion in kleinerem Maßstab (1:20, 1:30 u. 1:50), Querschnitte (1:20 u. 1:50), Details der Aufsichten (1:25, 1:30 u. 1:40), Ansichten der einzelnen Längs- u. Querträger (1:10, 1:15 u. 1:20) sowie weitere Details. Insgesamt bietet sich somit eine hervorragende, detailgenaue Darstellung aller Teile der Konstruktion.<br> Pottgießer S. 181-189 (inkl. mehreren Abb. sowie Geschichte der Firma Harkort). - Stein: 100 Jahre GHH-Brückenbau S. 51 u. 57 (mit Abb.). - Geschichte der Brücken.

"Charles Heels worked for the railways from 1912 until his retirement in 1960. Over the years he collected and recorded the history of his vocation. From early in the twentieth century he collected and took photographs related to his special field. The result is that the only copy of many of the photographs of the early days of railroading in Canada have been preserved in his collection. This book illustrates over 100 of these photos and records the history of many of the events which make up the history of railroading in Canada. Heels worked out of Lindsay, Ontario where he was responsible for freight cars in the district between Toronto, Belleville, Peterborough and points north and east. He thus needed to know all of the workings of the railway in central Ontario for almost half a century" - dust jacket. Writing blacked out in lower left corner of title page, otherwise book clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Binding tight. Moderate wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this important Ontario railroad history. Book‎

‎HEJAZ RAILWAY‎

‎Broadside: Construction of the Railway's Northern Branch.‎

‎Istanbul: May 1330 Rumi / 1914 CE. North Arabia and the First World War First and only printing of this rare decree by the Ottoman Chamber of Deputies written in the opening months of the First World War which outlines the state's commitment to constructing a 23-kilometre railway connection between the towns of Jenin and Nablus in what is today the West Bank as an extension of the Jerusalem branch of the Hejaz railway. The decree states that the government will spend 1200000 Kuru from the budget for 1329/1913-14 and 4800000 Kuru from the budget for 1330/1914-15 and that it will complete the track within a period of two years. It also lays out the assembly's assent and an analysis of how the budget for the project will be balanced. A list of the committee members who had signed off on the project is appended. The railroad was a key piece of infrastructure in supplying Ottoman troops in the Sinai hence the decision of the Ottoman government to spend large amounts of money on its expansion as the war began. The ultimate vision for the railway was to link Istanbul with the holy cities of Mecca and Medina and thereby consolidate Ottoman military control over the Arabian Peninsula. However only the section of the main line from Damascus to Medina was ever constructed becoming fully operational in 1909. Single bifolium with text in Osmanl Turkish printed across three pages. Light folds old pale stain at left edge a few light pencil annotations otherwise in good condition. unknown‎

‎HEJAZ RAILWAY; MUKHTAR BEY‎

‎Hamîdiye hicâz demiryolu güzergâhini irâe eder harita ve profildir "Map and Overview Presenting the Hejaz Railway Route".‎

‎Constantinople: Matba'a-i Bahriye "The Press of the Navy" 1319 Rumi 1903. Mapping the great Hejaz Railway – the embodiment of Hamidian Pan-Islamism A rare and important official map depicting the route of the Hejaz Railway based on a manuscript drafted under the supervision of the "brilliant Turkish engineer" Hadji Mukhtar Bey Maunsell p. 585 who served as chief of operations. It was issued in 1903 while the main line from Damascus to Medina was still under construction but after its final route had been established. This imposing and finely detailed large-format map depicts a very broad area extending from just north of Hama Syria all the way south a little way past Mecca in the Hejaz; it covers most of Syria all of Palestine the Sinai Peninsula the Suez Canal and all the north-western Arabian Peninsula. It clearly delineates those parts of the railway that are in place and those under construction employing a bold orange line land with each station labelled. Additionally it depicts the two alternative routes proposed for extending the line to Mecca employing broken lines while another line traces the proposed but unrealized route of a rail line from Mecca to the port of Jeddah. The map also labels important roads and caravan routes. In September 1907 four years after publication of this map the railway reached AlUla. Although AlUla is not marked here Mada'in Salih modern al-Hijr/Hegra is present which was a significant station responsible for the maintenance of locomotives. Today it is the site of one of two Hejaz railway museums the other being at Medina. Mada'in Salih was UNESCO's first World Heritage Site in Saudi Arabia and comprises "a major site of the Nabataean civilization in the south zone of its influence. The site is located at a meeting point between various civilizations of late antiquity on a trade route between the Arabian Peninsula the Mediterranean world and Asia. It bears outstanding witness to important cultural exchanges in architecture decoration language use and the caravan trade. Although the Nabataean city was abandoned during the pre-Islamic period the route continued to play its international role for caravans and then for the pilgrimage to Mecca up to its modernisation by the construction of the railway at the start of the 20th century" UNESCO. Construction of the Hejaz Railway began in 1901 and by 1908 had reached Medina 400 km short of Mecca where for various political reasons it had to be terminated. Nevertheless until the outbreak of the First World War it allowed hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to make the hajj in safety and with relative ease. Moreover for the first time branch lines provided a rapid link from Syria to Palestine. The moving figure behind this map was the veteran military engineer Hadji Mukhtar Bey who had conducted "military-scientific expeditions in east Africa Harrar and the Somali coast in the 1870s and early 1880s producing the first 'correct' cartographic maps of the region" El Shakry p. 42. It was he along with fellow officer Ali Rida al-Rikabi later first prime minister of modern Syria who originally assessed the route when they joined the 1900 hajj. Initial field surveys for the present map were conducted by two Ottoman cavalry officers Captain Umar Zaki and Lieutenant Hasan Mu'ayyin. In an interesting article in Jerusalem Quarterly Zeynep Celik and Zeinab Azarbadegan pay particular attention to this map and note that the Ottoman Navy "produced different versions of the map in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish pointing to the multiple purposes and audiences targeted within and beyond the empire. The mass production of maps demonstrates the Ottoman state's attempt to disseminate cartographic knowledge about the empire to the public. This speaks to the third and final aspect of analysis of the Hejaz Railway: its use as a tool of Ottoman state propaganda during the Hamidian era". There are at least two states of this map with slightly different titles. Colour lithographic map 800 x 520 mm coastal profiles of the Red Sea in left and right margins script in Ottoman Turkish. Light vertical creasing throughout minor foxing publisher's stamp in the cartouche marginal small tears repaired with old paper. A very good example.
