1955réf. 4891London England: Labour Information Office / United States Information Service 1955. Very good. 29pp. Folio. Original printed wrappers stapled. Noticeable toning and spotting to wrappers minor edge wear. Light toning to first text leaf. A rare collection of offprints of three articles which first appeared in the English publication Labour News from the U.S. in 1955 on the subject of automation in the American car industry along with a glossary of terms compiled by the United Auto Workers UAW. Two of the articles were authored by Walter P. Reuther president of the UAW and the third was written by D.J. Davis vice president of the Ford Motor Company. The articles were presented by the authors to a special joint subcommittee of the United States Congress. Reuther reports from the labor perspective writing that automation is welcomed by labor unions but he also points out the many problems of the practice. He also discusses the impending effects of electronic computers on society the responsibilities of employers the productivity of capital the need for growth in consumer markets the need for small business aid and more. Reuther suggests policies such as a more equitable distribution of the tax burden adequate unemployment compensation improved social security a higher minimum wage and other improvements that will satisfy the labor market in the advent of more automation. Davis's article provides the Ford Motor Company's perspective on the issue their definition of automation as well as its economics and effects. The glossary comes from a pamphlet printed by the UAW the same year and provides definitions of a range of terms such as automation servomechanism cybernetics and robot among others. We locate no other copies of this collection of offprints on automation from 1955 providing early information on the effects of computers and perhaps foretelling the advent of artificial intelligence on American industry.

1554réf. 13800Venice: Pinio Pietrasanta 1554. FIRST EDITION. Title within elaborate architectural border separate leaf with portrait of the author 17 decorative woodcut initials and 8 woodcut text illustrations 5 full-page. Bound in decorative modern boards. Other than a couple of very small and mild damp stains a lovely large copy. First edition of the first Italian book devoted exclusively to fortification of cities. It was preceded only by Durer’s Etliche underricht zur befestigung der Stett 1527. Italian works by Valle 1521 and Cataneo and Tartaglia both 1554 contained only chapters on the subject. Zanchi 1515-1586 a military engineer in the Venitian service under Marcantonio Colonna took part in several campaigns including the long siege of Siena where he became acquainted with Belluzzi and was a friend of Girolamo Maggi. He remarks that “the invention of artillery had necessitated a new system of fortifying cities and that those who might have been qualified by experience to write on the subject were not sufficiently versed in its theory to do so” Cockle 767. The system he describes herein is the favoured Italian bastion trace limited to the square with acute-angled bastions but already with an attempt to reinforce the curtains and the octagon again strengthening the curtains. This design improved the defense of the fortress as covering fire had to be provided often from multiple angles. The woodcuts are among the earliest showing the new pentagonal form of bastion. Zanchi left the manuscript of his work with Girolamo Ruscelli when he had to leave Venice; on his return Ruscelli sought and obtained permission to edit and publish the work which he recognized as a pioneering effort.
