[PHOTOGRAPHY - ENGINEERING - IRAN].
Collection of 19 engineering photographs in Iran.
Iran 1928. Oblong album 24.5 x 29.6 cm. Mid-19th-century bright blue faux-leather the front board features a pictorial on-lay within a rectangular frame the illustration depicts a young woman in traditional costume holding a large ceramic vessel. The joints are laced through onto 2 supports. With 19 black and white photographs ca. 23.1 x 17.1 cm on thick dark blue/black paper. 9 ll. Collection of 19 engineering photographs taken in Iran dating from ca. 1928 to 1930 CE. The majority of the images are annotated with the year 1308 AH 1929-1930 CE while only photograph 7 is dated 1307 AH 1928-1929 CE.The album documents large-scale engineering works and urban modernisation in Iran during the early years of the Pahlavi dynasty 1925-1941 under Reza Shah Pahlavi 1878-1944. In this period cities such as Tabriz underwent significant restructuring and infrastructural development as part of broader state-led reforms.The photographs depict surveying activities including measuring instruments mounted on tripods uniformed officials and extensive reconstruction works. Several photographs are identifiable as views of Tabriz including the development of the Gaji Gate Darb-e Gajil in December 1929 Ahrap Ahrab Street and Munjam Street under construction. Other views show street levelling and widening works illustrating the transformation of older urban quarters into broader modern thoroughfares.Further noteworthy subjects include railway works and one photograph taken in Jafarabad shows several men wearing a combination of traditional clothing including papakha-style headgear and Western clothing reflecting the broader cultural transition of the period. The present work therefore stands as an informative visual record of early 20th-century Iranian engineering urban renewal and state modernisation.With some glue staining to the dark blue paper on several pages. A few photographs show minor marginal wear not affecting the images themselves. The final photograph is not mounted on the album paper but on a separate piece of card and is loosely inserted. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Tofigh Kouzehkanani & Zelef "Towards extroverted urbanism: Haussmannization and building a new urban identity in Tabriz 1925-1942" ITU AZ 22 3 2025 pp. 559-577 hardcover

[Soil Mechanics] [Earthquake Engineering] [Robert V Whitman] Taylor, Donald W; Terzaghi, Karl; Freeman, John R; Burington, Richa
From the Library of Robert Whitman: Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics Theoretical Soil Mechanics Earthquake Damage and Earthquake Insurance; Handbook of Mathematical Tables and Formulas
<br /> <br /> Four books from the research library of world-renowned expert in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering Robert V. Whitman. Whitman earned both his masters and doctoral degrees in engineering from MIT where he then taught for over 40 years and remained an active member of the MIT community for many more years as a professor emeritus. <br /> Whitman worked with Professor Donald Taylor during his doctoral studies. Their work on slope stability under dynamic loading established the basis for the "Newmark sliding block method" for estimating earthquake-induced ground displacements. In 1981 he presented the Terzaghi Lecture on risk analysis in geotechnical engineering at the American Society of Civil Engineer’s National Convention. He won the Terzaghi Award for outstanding contributions to knowledge in the fields of soil mechanics subsurface and earthwork engineering in 1987. Much of his later research focused on a methodology for estimating losses from earthquakes and he led the committee that developed a computer software called HAZUS which FEMA expanded to include floods and hurricanes.<br /> <br /> Taylor Donald W.

Moscow: Foreign Languages Publishing House 1955. First Edition. First printing. 12mo. Pictorial card wrappers with French flaps; 85pp; illus. Trivial rubbing to covers; still a tight unmarked Near Fine copy. A bit of show-off Cold War propaganda touting the achievements of Russian engineering - in this case a completely automated plant producing automotive pistons on the campus of the "Experimental Machine-Tool Research Institute." The achievements of the Soviet machine-tool industry are perhaps a trifle overblown here - but two years later Sputnik would prove that the USSR's scramble for technological and scientific relevance was anything but a pipe-dream.

Hybrid Coils.
Palo Alto 1925. Good. 8-3/4" x 11". 4 76 pp recto only. Red cloth stamped in black illustrated with 34 blueprint figures lacking #18 but with two of #17 including 12 full-page and one fold-out figure. Lightly worn with damp-spotting and darkened spine; missing front endpaper; minor staining from paste to occasional leaves. Signed by Fullerton in ink at the end of the Introduction. An interesting student thesis on the practical use of hybrid coils in telephony by Dick P. Fullerton a Seattle native who worked for Western Electric and would later become president of the New York Telephone Company. Shortly after transfering to the latter company he assisted Stanley S. N. Watkins in his preparation of the Voder machine for demonstration at the 1939 World's Fair.The thesis is divided into three parts: "The first is a general discussion of the hybrid coils and their use in telephone work. The second part is a mathematical analysis of the three chief relations in a hybrid coil and the third part is an experimental verification of these mathematical derivations. . Through the entire paper I have endeavored to keep the practical application of the coil to the repeater as the chief thought for the prime function of the coil is to transmit speech and if it fails in this it is useless regardless of the results of experiments and mathematics" pp 2-3.Scarce. We find one holding in OCLC at Stanford. hardcover

[Western Photographica]. [Engineering]
Small Album of Annotated Photographs Documenting Concrete Construction and Civil Engineering Projects in the American West During the Early 20th Century
Various locations including Wyoming Nebraska and Iowa 1919. Very good plus. Forty-two original black-and-white photographs and real photo postcards most with manuscript annotations bound into a two-ring leather binder. Two additional postcards laid in. Minor occasional dust soiling but overall in excellent shape. An intriguing pocket-sized binder containing a collection of photographs and real photo postcards documenting large-scale construction projects in the American West mostly involving concrete projects such as dams drainage reservoir infrastructure railroads and more between about 1913 to 1920. All of the projects occur on or west of the Mississippi River in locations such as Keokuk Iowa; Ardmore South Dakota; Grand Island Nebraska; and Arminto Wyoming. The projects cover a wide range of subject matter from a simple base for a railroad mail sack crane to entire dam wall construction and seem to feature several involving sprayable concrete commonly known as gunite. This material was rather new in the 1910s but is still widely in use to the present day.<br /> <br /> The majority of the images are captioned in manuscript identifying the project or location or often both. These include a power-generating dam in Keokuk; reinforcement of a reservoir dam near Lysite Wyoming; widening of a cut for the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad through Arminto; memorializing a concrete crib wall for the same railroad at the Bancroft St. Vincent Omaha; the installation of an eighteen-inch wall casting and sinking the Kelly well in Grand Island; documenting frost action on a brick chimney and water tank and also picturing a "concrete gun" in Worland Wyoming; and others. The images are organized into two sections with small tabs one reading "Dams" and the other "Miscellan."<br /> <br /> The compiler of the pictures is not identified but he or she was most likely involved in the operational aspects of the construction projects. One of the captions is initialed at the bottom "JRH" which may help scholars identify the compiler with further research. The binder itself was produced in Kansas City which may be an additional clue to the compiler's identity. A small but focused collection featuring major western construction projects from the early-20th century. unknown

Reichhaltiger Sammelband medizinischer Dissertationen angehender Medizinier des 19. Jahrunderts. So z.B. jene Joseph von Verings (1793-1826) über die Wiedergenesung. Sein Vater Gerhard von Vering (1755-1823), Dermatologe und Audiologe behandelte unter anderen auch Ludwig van Beethoven wegen seines rapiden Gehöhrverlusts. Da der Behandlung kein Erfolg beschieden war, wandte sich der Komponist an Dr. Johann Adam Schmidt. Weiters findet sich ein Werk des angesehen Prager Mediziner Joseph Julius Czermak (1799-1851), welcher durch seine Dissertation einen Grundstein für sein weiteres Forschungsgebiet der vergleichenden Anatomie setzt. Während seiner Professur in Wien besuchten u.a. Nikolaus Lenau seine Vorlesungen. - Titelblatt zum ersten Band am Oberrand teilweise ausgerissen. Durchgehend wasserrandig, gebräunt und stockfleckig. Zu Band IV: Wurzb. III, 99.

[Yellow Fever].
Beschreibung des gelben Fiebers für Aerzte und Wundärzte der k. und k. k. österreichischen Staaten. Vienna, no publisher, 1805.
8vo. 22 pp., final blank. Papered spine. Rare, early treatise on yellow fever, in the early 19th century a poorly understood disease that was causing much sensation throughout the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and indeed the entire continent, due to several spectacular outbreaks in southern Europe. Not until the 1880s would the cause and transmission (the yellow fever mosquito) be identified correctly. - Estreicher erroneously attributes this brochure to the Spanish physician Juan Manuel de Aréjula, who had published similar works on the subject at the same time (translations even appearing in Vienna). In fact, the booklet was issued on behalf of the Austrian state ("auf allerhöchsten Befehl", at the Emperor's command) and distributed free of charge among general practicioners and surgeons in the Austrian countries so as to disseminate the relevant medical knowledge as quickly as possible. A Polish translation was published that same year. - Browned and duststained; traces of old shelfmarks and stamps to title-page and final blank. Only five copies in libraries worldwide (Austrian National Library, Munich, Frankfurt, Tübingen, Wellcome Collection). Wellcome II, 72. Lesky 67. Estreicher (19th c.) I, 92 and cf. I, 39 (Polish translation).
