Title in red & black frontisp. in w/ decorative red borders red & black decorative vignette borders throughout numerous plates and text illustrations. Black decorated softcovers embossed raised lettering & decoration in red & gilt on front cover burgundy-coloured decorative border a NF copy. First edition of this beautifully printed catalogue No. 5 which helped launch the growth of the modern power tool industry and was produced by the Donnelley & Sons Lakeside Press. First developed by Black & Decker in 1910 their portable electric drill “with the pistol grip and trigger switch” was patented in 1917 and proved so invaluable for factory floors that employees began taking the drills home to work on their own projects so in 1923 the company introduced an entire line-up of portable tools aimed at non-professionals. Alonzo Decker and S. Duncan Black focused on improving their own inventions as well as other inventors products and they also marketed here their groundbreaking air compressor designed for automobile owners to inflate their tires.

1930ref. 8423New York City: Club of Printing House Craftsmen 1930. ONE OF ONLY 17 COPIES. "A fraternal souvenir presented to the Pacific Coast Clubs of Printing House Craftsmen for preservation in their archives by the Club of Printing House Craftsmen of the City of New York---the pioneer club---on the occasion of the visits of its Delegates en route to the Eleventh Annual Convention of the International Association of Printing House Craftsmen Los Angeles August 16-21 1930." Large tall folio 13" X 19". Faux vellum spine over blue paper covered boards gilt ruled edge to front cover gilt fraternal device. 14 leaves on thick watermarked deckle edge paper. A stub of paper shows between the front pastedown and the ffep but I suspect this was just a printing flaw and not a missing leave as the decorative blue ruled lines of the pastedown carry over to the recto of the first endpaper and this also matches the rear endpapers. Photographically reproduced historical documents relating to the establishment and history of the Club of Printing House Craftsmen. The colophon states "Note: The originals of the historic documents reproduced in this souvenir are from the extensive collection of memorabilia relating to the printers' associations of every sort in all countries gathered by Henry Lewis Bullen founder of the Typographic Library and Museum of the American Type Founders Company. The souvenir was planned by Mr. Bullen at the request of the Officers of the Club of Printing House Craftsmen of New York City. The printing was done by Wadsworth A. Parker Manager of the Typographic Department of the American Type Founders Company with the assistance of Thad S. Walling General Superintendent of Printing for the McGraw-Hill Publilshing Company. These gentlemen are charter members of the parent Club. This strictly limited edition is issued primarily for presentations to the various Clubs which have extended hospitalities to the Delegates and other members of the New York Club while en route to the Eleventh Annual Convention of the International Association in Los Angeles. Copies have also been presented to the Internationa Association; to Messrs. Menaige Walling Parker and Bullen for important services in the initiation of the movement; the Library of Congress; the Typographic Library; and one copy has been reserved for the New York Club---seventeen copies in all." 1O SIGNATURES AT REAR.

1871ref. 295Washington: Government Printing Office 1871. 4to. 290 x 230 mm. 11 1/2 x 9 inches. 4 205 pp. Illustrated with 7 chromolithographic plates 6 micro photographs and one lithograph. Bound in contemporary pebbled morocco spine and tips over marbled paper boards; edges rubbed but a sound and attractive copy. First illustrated edition; the text was published in an abbreviated form in 1869. This report was initiated by an outbreak of disease in a large number of Texas cattle that had been shipped north and landed in Cairo Illinois. The disease quickly spread and a government response was requested through the House of Representatives. A team lead by the English Professor of Veterinary Medicine James Gamgee and the botanists H. W. Ravenel of South Carolina traveled to Texas to find the origins of the diseased live stock. In an attempt to better illustrate their findings of the impact of the disease on the lungs spleens hearts and kidneys they employed the latest technology of chromolithographic printing and micro photography to produce highly legible detailed images of damaged organs. The color printed plates and photographs were produced in Baltimore by the Hoen & Co Chromolithographers and they demonstrate the use of color printing for medical research. 295.
