Publisher's sewn blue printed wrappers with a window in the front cover to display a biplane aloft. Small marginal tear not afecting any text. A very good copy. None located by OCLC. The Roebling's history in Trenton dates to 1848 when John A. Roebling purchased 25 acres of land in Chambersburg Best known today as the "father of the Brooklyn Bridge" Roebling and the company he founded supplied cables from Trenton to most of the major suspension bridges built in United States during the first half of the 20th century. Among the dozens of major bridges using Trenton-made cable are New York City's Williamsburg Manhattan and George Washington Bridges as well as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.Roebling Lofts converted the "Clark Street Rope Shop" Building 101 erected in 1917 during WW I. It was an ultra-modern facility for its time with massive windows and a fire resistant design. It replaced an older factory that burned down in late 1915 allegedly by German saboteurs. Building 101 specialized in light- and medium-gauge wire rope such as used in aircraft. Perhaps the factory's most famous customer was Charles Lindbergh who specified Roebling wire for The Spirit of St. Louis the plane he flew non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. This has been called the single most influential flight in aviation history excepting the 1903 first-flight by the Wright Brothers who also used Roebling cables for bracing wings. Lindbergh used Roebling products for control cables to brace the wings for the ignition harness and the plane's lightning rod. The testing lab for the aircraft business was located on the 4th floor of the Clark Street factory including a massive machine designed to simulate stresses on wings. The machine survives in place on the 4th floor and is being preserved in a lounge for use by residents of Roebling Lofts. John A. Roebling's Sons Company unknown

Very good.Remco Redwood Pipe Company was known for using old-growth redwood timber in its Redwood piping manufacturing. Using massive amounts of redwood in their pipes and the pipes were lauded as they were large-diameter lightweight and durable. They were used primarily used for municipal water systems irrigation and industrial purposes. With the growing power of the environmentalist movement the use of old-growth redwood was seen as a cardinal sin rightly so and they eventually bowed to public pressure and ceased manufacturing their pipes. Greg King the author of Ghost Forest relates this ironic tidbit; " “I point first to Wiggington Creed. Creed a powerful Bay Area attorney married into the Hooper clan who were the world’s biggest redwood merchants. After the death of the most powerful brother in 1916 Creed inherited his assets which included lumber. In 1919 he also became one of the five founding directors of Save the Redwoods League. The following year he wrote the League’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. And at the same time he accepted the president’s position at PG&E. Now PG&E was the world’s largest consumer of stave redwood pipes at that time. The largest producer of those stave pipes was the Redwood Manufacturers Company or Remco. And Wiggington Creed was president of that…” Redwoods Manufacturing Company unknown

In 1835 the world's richest deposit of white crystalline marble was discovered in the area of Georgia then known as "Long Swamp Valley." As quarries moved into the area it soon became known as Marble Hill. Around 1880 the greater world became aware of these rich deposits and soon sought to take them over. Early in the 20th century Frank H. Sidall and H.C. Clement both Northerners looking to make some money in the "New South" created the Georgia Marble Company. By 1916 the Georgia Marble Company had purchased the Southern Marble and Stone Company and four more plant facilities at Marble Hill Nelson Ball Ground and Marietta. With the final purchase in 1941 of the Georgia Marble Finishing Works at Canton the Georgia Marble Company had achieved a virtual monopoly of this excellent supply of top-tier marble. Although it was purchased by a Canadian multinational company in 2003 the Georgia Marble Company continues to be the world's largest producer of marble products.
