JC. GAMMON LTD J. C.
c1950s ORIGINAL GROUP OF THREE 3 PORTFOLIOS DETAILING THE SUCCESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF ONE OF ASIA'S MOST RENOWNED INFRASTRUCTURAL ENGINEERING FIRMS
INDIA PAKISTAN. Good. 1950. On offer is a unique and rare group of three photo portfolios dating from mid-20th Century India and Pakistan. Each portfolio measures 14.5 inches by 10 inches and is laid out landscape-style. The first has 78 pages the second 44 pages and the third 14 pages. All are 100% complete. The pages are thick glossy paper and the photographs are black and white. The portfolios are a set entitled Bridges by J.C. Gammon Ltd. Bombay. They contain over 150 black and white photographs of bridges constructed across Indian and Pakistan by J.C. Gammon Ltd Gammon is one of the largest engineering and physical infrastructure construction companies in Asia. Founded by John C. Gammon in India in 1919 it grew to a network of subsidiaries across Asia the Middle East and Africa. Gammon was the driving force behind the introduction of prestressed concrete to India. He designed the reinforced concrete piles of the Gateway of India. The foundations of the arch reach deep into the bedrock. With time he came to be known as the 'Sculptor of Concrete'. Gammon's track record spans significant landmark projects built over decades with a prominent presence across all sectors of civil engineering design and construction. It has a track record of building landmark structures some of which have become iconic. Many of its subsidiary companies were spun off as independent firms but there was always a high level of exchange of staff and technology between them. Jardine Matheson the British merchant bank established in China in 1832 acquired Gammon's in 1969 The Gammon name can be found across Asia and the Pacific. The portfolios are in excellent condition. Each page features a bridge project undertaken by the firm. The photographs are accompanied by explanatory text such as this: "Patalgana Bridge. A large bridge crossing the Pataganga River near Pen having a total length of 634 feet. The three centre spans each of 100 feet are designed according to Messrs. Christiani & Nielsen's patent method with inclined hangers. The bridge was built in 1937 to the instructions of Mr. T.A. Andrews Chief Engineer and Mr. Suleman Tyabji Superintending Engineer Bombay Government." This is an excellent collection of key infrastructure projects built by the leading contracting firm in Asia. A Civil Engineer would see these are fine examples of the profession and a historian would be able to chart progress with the construction of these many bridges across the Indian subcontinent. A historian would find these interesting to assess against the backdrop of the drive to independence for India.; Photo Album; 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY INDIA PAKISTAN BOMBAY MUMBAI J.C.

GRANVILLE OHIO. Fair. 1924. On offer is the original manuscript journal and diary handwritten by Mr. J. E. Pratt of Granville Ohio. Dated 1924 through 1927 Mr. Pratt was the grounds keeper for the area college which research suggests is today Denison University with numerous mentions are around the campus including Stone Hall Talbot Hall and King Hall. Over 121 handwritten densely filled pages Pratt writes about his home life the work he does especially around the campus and of course the weather. Personal entries are abundant as we sadly record the death of his mother and his thoughts on that. Here are some snippets: 1924-1927 "Cloudy. Looks like snow or rain. A very very cloudy day. No rain no sunshine just clouds and more clouds. Not above 36 degrees all day. Topped and sawed down the old mulberry tree south of Pres. House. An old landmark. Mr. D. L. Davis thinks it was almost 100 years old. He used to climb it in his boyhood days." Moonlight few clouds. Foggy. Springy. 26th anniversary of coldest Feb. day on record. Feb. 10th 1899. A very heavy frost. Sunshine and clouds. A very pleasant day. Clouds and stars tonight. Birds sang like spring. Spread cinders on walk to Prof. Stickney's and on College Avenue". "Scattered clouds. Very warm day. Moved Million D.U.C. 2 hrs. Trimmed vines on Pres. House's porch and made general cleanup around house. . Watered all medium shrubs there. Total 8 � hrs. Clouds on horizon moon into crescent." "Moonlight with few clouds. Hazy mostly sunshine today. Much warmer. Moved around Baker East Cottages Conservatory and the front lawn along each and some others in forenoon. 5 hrs. Not working after noon. It seemed to be a day off with a good many." "Scattered clouds and some fog. Everything looks refreshed. A rather warm day clouds and sunshine. Thunder in distance at times. Little sprinkle of rain. At church in morning. Communion services. At home in afternoon. P.m. carried Anna Marie up Mt. Parnassus. A great girl." "Clear low fog. Mother resting. Very sick 2-5 a.m. then quieted by medicine and gradually failed and became unconscious. Last word was the name of her brother James Jim as she opened her eyes and saw him standing at foot of bed. Death near 4 p.m. Rain and hail. 3-4 p.m. and much cooler this evening. A pleasant evening. A sad one to us all." "Cloudy foggy. Cleared and became much warmer. Made arrangements for burial. Bought part of H. L. Bancroft lot no 55. Selected casket with Delbert. A solemn day to us all. Purchased lot and made arrangements for grave." "Hill valley grove and town" are alike covered with snow this morning and still it snows. It turned to rain about 10 a.m. A good deal of rain in the afternoon�." "Scattered clouds frost fog in valley. A very fine day with a large bit of sunshine but clouded towards eve. Noon and later I walked up town and over the Ship. Campus up Burg St. then across to graveyard then to Marsh Pre. House ex Phi Delta new dorm down to P.O. and then home." "Clouds. N.E. wind. A cool wind all day but quite warm notwithstanding. A good day to work. Mowed mountains near Cleve. Hall and Tennis Courts Mrs. Herrick's and W. Cottage and near Marsh Hall. Clouds and stars 9 p.m." The diary is 8" x 10" and he uses every available space to write on. The cover is very very worn and torn and the first couple of pages are loose.

On offer is a charming piece of Depression Era Americana being a handwritten manuscript 5-year diary authored by Jean Coleman a young girl of 13 in 8th grade and following her into womanhood and her first semester of college. There are a number of interesting parts to this young girl's life and while this is a Depression Era diary the depression has no effect on her family when it comes to comings and goings. She has diligently filled the diary with a near obsessive quality only missing a few days in 1935. The diary bears out that she's an unusual charming girl from a loving and supporting extended family. Jean lived in the Boston Massachusetts and with relatives in Canada and the many long family visits there makes for a fair bit of Canadiana in this journal.
