‎"The Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition""‎

‎The house New Zealand built in England‎

‎London : The Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition 1950. Oblong quarto full crushed red morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe London the panels ruled and lettered in gilt spine in compartments with raised bands ruled in gilt all edges gilt endpapers creased introductory text 35 original photographs mounted on cards with printed captions opposite. Ex-library the University of National Development Library Canberra with library stamps and cancel marks to the front pastedown and the text sheet. In 1950 the Government of New Zealand transported by sea a full domestic house to London for display at The Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition to show Londoners what daily life looked like on the other side of the world. This fascinating album documents the exhibition the transportation of the house and its assembly the New Zealand women studying in London who served as hostesses for the visitors and some of the notable signatories who visited the house including Queen Mary Princess Elizabeth later Queen Princess Margaret the Duchess of Kent the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and others. 'This album is the record of a unique enterprise which has successfully served two purposes. It has placed attractively before a multitude of home-lovers in Britain the products of the great Dominion it represented and it has shown intending immigrants of that Dominion the sort of home life they can look forward to when their turn comes to sally forth. For the first time a complete Dominion home was transported 12000 miles by sea to be set up furnished and provisioned in England so that a great throng of home-lovers might saunter through it and see it in detail as a portrayal of the way of life on that other side of the world' - the introduction. This album is bound and finished to the highest standard by the eminent bookbinders Sangorski & Sutcliffe no doubt for one of the prominent figures involved in the project. Possibly a unique example it entered the University Collection about 1957 the earliest library stamp and was subsequently deaccessioned making its way to a charity book fair in Canberra where we acquired it. hardcover‎

‎First printing of Bell Labs Magnetron issue. The Magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that through a stream of electrons in a magnetic field generates microwaves. This reduced the size of radar sets which made it possible to install them in anti-submarine aircrafts and escort ships. This had a profound influence on the warfare during WWII. Today magnetrons are commonly used in microwave ovens and in various radar applications.""The studies of Fisk, H. D. Hagstrum, and P. L. Hartman [the present paper] increased the understanding of the role that the various possible modes of oscillation played in magnetron operation and the effect of the wire straps - which later evolved into two pair of concentric copper rings.""

‎"THE PENINSULA WAR 1807-1814. -‎

‎Collection of 15 large lithographed maps relating to the battles during the Peninsula war. The maps are lithographed from the original Drawing(s) in the Qr Mr Genls Office, at the Top.l Dept of the War Office (by) H. James.‎

‎(London, War Office, 1860-70). All of the large maps are lithographed (one signed ""lith. James Ferguson"") with positions in colour. The measures given are paper sizes, comprising: 1. Movements of the two Armies after the Repulse of Marshal Massena's Attack upon the Position of Busaco. (68 x 82 cm.).- 2. Battle of Talevera de la Reyna fought on the 27th & 28th July 1809. (113 x 68 cm.). - 3. Battle of Busaco. General Position of the French and allied Armies on the 26th September 1810. (68 x 100 cm.). - 4-6. Battle of Fuentes D'Onoro, Fought on the 3rd and 5th May 1811. Map 1-3., each (68 x 100 cm.). - 7-15. all with the heading title Massena's Retreat No. 1-3 and 5-10 each around (51 x 67 cm.). At end one untitled map. Some foldings strenghtened with tape.‎

‎We have been unable to decide whether these maps are a part of a series or just published separately.The Peninsular War was a military conflict between Napoleon's empire and Bourbon Spain, for control of the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars. The war began when the French and Spanish armies invaded and occupied Portugal in 1807, and escalated in 1808 when France turned on Spain, previously its ally. The war on the peninsula lasted until the Sixth Coalition defeated Napoleon in 1814, and is regarded as one of the first wars of national liberation, significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare.‎
