‎First edition in the rare original dust-jacket of the first textbook on digital computers. It constitutes ""the first genuine textbook on computing techniques and computer hardware, was a pioneering book that influenced both American and foreign computer developments."" (Tomash-Erwin E14). ""The first treatise on how to build an electronic digital computer"" (OOC)""High-Speed Computing Devices was written to satisfy a perceived need, following the end of World War II, for a compendium of technologies applicable to the emerging field of the electronic digital computer. Because published technical information was scarce in the US, there can be little question that the book was an important contribution to the computer literature of the 1950s. For today's student of computer history, whether a professional historian or a history buff, the book, with its state-of-the-art picture of the period 1947 through 1949, establishes a well-documented baseline for tracking and evaluating subsequent technological progress"" (A.A. Cohen, ""Introduction"", Charles Babbage Institute Reprint Series Edition of the ERA Report, 1983).""It provides the best picture of the state of the industry in its infancy. Ostensibly written as a report to the Office of Naval Research, the work was really undertaken on behalf of the Naval cryptographic establishment. Engineering Research Associates, ERA, was a group formed primarily from demobilized World War II naval cryptographers. It presents a discussion of the mechanical and electrical (both analog and digital) devices that could be usefully incorporated into computing machines. Although it does not survey the computer projects then underway, it does occasionally discuss individual machines in the context of integrating devices into complete systems. Engineering Research Associates (ERA) later became a division of Remington Rand and then of Sperry Rand."" (Tomash-Erwin E14)Tomash-Erwin E14.Origins of Cyberspace 584.‎

‎ENGINEERING - An Illustrated Weekly Journal Vol. LXXXIV. July through December 1907‎

‎London: Offices Of "engineering". Very Good. 1907. First Edition. Hardcover. 890 pages; London: Offices of "Engineering". Very Good. 1907. First Edition. 890 pages; With the original title page for the semi-annual volume and the several indices for vol. LXXXIV issued with the first numbers of 1908 . Large folio. Bound around time of receipt in full green buckram spine lettered in gilt -- plain endpapers edges of the leaves decoratively marbled. Originally this volume was in the Library of the U. S. Bureau of Standards. There is a small performated stamp of the Bureau of Standards on the title page now overstamped: "Cancelled. " The Surplus-Duplicate stamp of the Library of Congress appears in blue ink on the front free endpaper making this volume legal to buy and sell. This heavy volume never circulated; there is no card pocket or circulation slip. One of the most interesting and consequential volumes of this standard publication covering the world's engineering achievements during the first decade of the twentieth century. During the second half of 1906 the huge Cunard turbine-powered ocean liners "Lusitania" and "Mauretania" were built separately and first launched for their respective sea trials. The richly detailed accounts here in "Engineering" coincide with the maiden voyages of the two ships. Each was at its time of launching the largest and most powerful vessel the world had yet seen. Each also took the "Blue Riband" -- the informal but highly prized award for the fastest Atlantic crossing by a passenger liner. Cunard was under pressure at the time these two ships were designed and built. The German firms German Norddeutscher Lloyd NDL and Hamburg America Line HAPAG had each built ships larger faster and more luxurious ships than Cunard's flag ships. The American financier J. P. Morgan entered the liner business by forming a trust IMM consisting of Frederick Leyland Ltd. -- which he bought outright and his controlling interest in the British White Star Line. Additionally Morgan made an attempt to purchase Cunard as well. Cunard hoped to regain their position atop the Atlantic liner trade and struck a deal with the British government. In June 1903 Cunard obtained a loan of £2.6 million to finance two ships -- a 20-year loan at a rate of 2.75% . The proposed Cunard ships would receive an annual government operating subsidy of £75 000 each plus a mail contract worth £68 000. The only catch was that the ships were required to be built to Admiralty specifications -- implying that they might potentially serve as auxiliary cruisers in a time of war. The massive task of building these two ships was so complex and demanding that the two commissions were awarded to two different firms. "Lusitania" was designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown and Company of Clydebank Scotland. Its vast size required that the shipyard be reorganized in order that "Lusitania" might be launched diagonally across the widest possible part of the river Clyde where it met a tributary. The Clyde itself was too narrow to accomodate the 786 foot length of "Lusitania. " Even considering this creative diagonal launching undertaking the commission required that John Brown spend £8 000 to dredge the Clyde £18 000 to extend the dock plus £19 000 for a new crane capable of lifting 150 tons etc. Photographs and detailed textual descriptions of all aspects are included in this volume. The texts published here were timed to coincide with the respective maiden voyages: 'Lusitania' was put into Atlantic service July 7 1907; 'Mautiania' followed at the end of 1908 on November 16. Like "Lusitania " "Mauretania was designed by Leonard Peskett but was built by the firm of John Wigham Richardson Swan Hunter in Northumberland England. Upon launch "Mauretania" was the largest moving structure ever built -- slightly larger in gross tonnage than Lusitania. She was also about five feet longer than her sister Cunard ship.

Trivial signs of use to the binding and contents with insignificant imperfections only: AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY the attractive binding lustrous and virtually unworn and THE PLATES REMARKABLY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT with especially ample margins.<br/> <br/> This is a remarkably beautiful copy inside and out of the second enlarged edition of a fundamental work for the history of engineering and the construction of buildings expanding the original 1743 edition for educational use with text in academically appropriate Latin in addition to the original Italian. Niccola or Nicolò Zabaglia 1667-1750 began working as a day laborer on the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in 1686 and was employed full time on the project by 1691. According to Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani "by 1696 he was able to demonstrate his ability as a mechanic moving the large porphyry cup and the bronze statues placed in the Vatican baptistery." Although illiterate he was an ingenious practical engineer. DBI notes that "the preparation of scaffolding and exceptional castles and the transport of extraordinary weights" were his strongest skills. For the Vatican he organized the removal transportation and installation of several obelisks at St. Peter's and other churches figured out a way to move a large marble altar and prepared the scaffolding needed to construct maintain or restore areas of St. Peter's. He was involved in strengthening its famed dome after the earthquakes of 1703 and 1730 inventing the necessary machines to do the work and training the construction crew. This volume's splendid oversized engravings illustrate the machinery and instruments used for the restoration of the dome—elaborate hoisting devices construction tools pulleys scaffolding ornamental tiles etc.—as well as the craftsmen at work. The transportation of the Vatican obelisk by Domenico Fontana in 1590 is represented by a fine selection of plates from Carlo Fontana's work on St. Peter's "Templum Vaticanum" published in 1694 and derived from Domenico's original "Delle transportazione dell'obelisco Vaticano". This undertaking may be compared with the plates depicting Zabaglia's methods for transporting and erecting obelisks. The greatest honor conferred on the unofficial "Engineer of the Vatican" in his lifetime was the first edition of this work published at Rome by Niccolò & Marco Pagliarini in 1743 with a total of 55 plates. The present second edition is enlarged with a biography of Zabaglia written by jurist Filippo Maria Renazzi 1742-1808 and with eight more plates which are among the very best and largest in the book; it is less commonly encountered than the first edition. This may be due to the fact that if put to the intended use in educational settings copies of the 1824 edition would have seen far more wear and tear than the earlier printing.
