Celebre alchimista tedesco, Johann Rudolph Glauber (1604-1668) fu soprannominato il “Paracelso della sua epoca” e, come quest’ultimo, si dimostrò partigiano delle operazioni e teorie alchemiche le più strane. “Iniziò lo studio teorico della affinità chimica, e si occupò di diversi processi tecnologici fra cui la preparazione di acidi minerali (acido cloridrico) e di sali (solfato sodico, sali d’antimonio), la distillazione del legno, ecc. Sotto il nome di "Sale di Glauber" ancora oggi si indica spesso il solfato di sodio idrato che i medici del tempo di Glauber, chiamarono anche "sale mirabile" per le sue proprietà terapeutiche".

Green Cloth Lightly Worn But Most Of Fragile White Lettering Has Rubbed Away No Fraying Or Stains. Hinges Solid. Signature Of "George F Haller / Sept 14 1910" On Front Endpaper With Remains Of Tipped In Printed Paper Label Beneath The Signature Of Which Only A "T" Remains Possibly A Publisher's Note. In 1915 Cunningham 1889-1965 Started The Audio Tron Sales Company In San Francisco. Based On The West Coast He Was In Direct Competition With Lee De Forest A Leading Manufacturer Of Triodes Sold Under The Audion Brand. Before 1915 Triode Vacuum Tubes Were Spherical Or Shaped Like An Incandescent Light Bulb. Cunningham Took A Different Route. His Triode Tube Was Tubular And Had The Capability Of Being Double Sided. This Design Allowed Dual Filaments Which Provided Longer Operating Life. Cunningham Was Able To Produce This Vacuum Tube In Large Numbers And Maintain Quality. The Rise In Amateur Radio Interest Was A Great Asset To Audio Tron Sales. This Design Proved Influential On Vacuum Tube Production And Prompted De Forest To Come Up With A Tubular Audio. Another Important Design In The Audio Tron Tube Is The Use Of A Cylindrical Plate Instead Of The Typical Flat Plate In The Audion. The Cylindrical Plate Provided Better Gain And Tube Efficiency. This Design For The Audio Tron Was Probably Inspired By George Halle.In 1916 Elmer T. Cunningham And His Writing Partner George Haller Formed The Haller-Cunningham Company. The Main Purpose Was To Sell And Make Wireless Equipment. In Addition Cunningham Provided Financial Backing To Otis B. Moorehead Late In 1915 To Start A New Vacuum Tube Company Called Moorehead Laboratories Also Based In San Francisco Ca. In July 1916 Otis Moorehead Marketed The Electron Relay Tube. This Vacuum Tube Was Similar In Appearance As Cunningham's Audio Tron. Like The Audio Tron Moorehead's Tube Would Cut Into De Forest's Tube Business On The West Coast And De Forest Would Take Legal Action On Moorehead As Well. Moorehead Would Later Make The First Military Tubes For The Us And United Kingdom During World War I. In 1919 The Radio Corporation Of America Rca Took Legal Action Against Cunningham For The Violation Of The Flemming And Deforest Patents. The Decision Made By The Us District Court For Northern California Proved Quite Favorable To Cunningham. By 1921 Audio Tron Manufacturing Company Started Slowly Changing Their Name To "E.T. Cunningham Inc." In Later Years After The Court Decision Cunningham Played A Bigger Part In Rca's Business Activities. According To The Rca Publication " Rca A Historical Perspective" By 1931 The E.T. Cunningham Company Became An Integral Part Of Rca And Consolidated With The Rca Radiotron Company Giving Rca Rights To The Use Of The Cunningham Brand. In Addition Elmer T. Cunningham Became A Part Of The Rca Organization. In 1932 His Name Appears On Page 16 Of The August-September Edition Of "Music Trade Review" As President Of Rca Radiotron Division Vacuum Tube Production And Distribution. By The Mid 1930S He Rose To The Position Of President Of Rca Manufacturing Division. Haller Was In A Responsible Position With Westinghouse In 1910. He Wrote The Use And Care Of Storage Batteries In 1916. He Became Vice President And General Manager Of Haller Cunningham Electric And In 1917 Was Traveling Throughout The U.S. Arranging For Installation Of Their Extensively Patented Wireless Equipment On Steamers. By 1923 He Was President Of The San Francisco Labor Council And That Year Became A Member Of The California Commission On Immigration And Housing. D. Van Nostrand hardcover

These salesman sample photo albums and ancillary ephemera vividly document the die cast alloy products churned out by the fast growing Superior Die Casting Co. founded in 1919 following World War I by two intrepid Jewish-American engineers. The first album composed entirely of linen-backed photographs open with images of the newly opened SuperCast Die Cast factory and reproductions of trade magazines touting the company’s new ally with 50000 lbs. of tensile strength with 25% greater permanency when subjected to extreme heat and steam as well as greater strengths when subjected to sub-zero testing in 1930. The myriad of inventive and eye-catching product photographs depict oil pump bodies Motometer mounts partition castings piston and crank assemblies fans rotors pulls speedometer drives rumble seat arm rests auto pedals oil gauge parts auto door panel glass holders and more. Of particular interest are the photographs depicting the vast nearly surrealist collage product exhibits created for the 8th National Exposition of Power & Mechanical Engineering in Grand Central Palace New York 1929; the 1929 Cleveland Automobile Show at the Public Auditorium or the 1927 Cleveland Industrial Exposition. The second sales album featuring 54 silver gelatin photographs and 32 of them designed with a nearly avante-garde creativity with ingeniously arranged product collages augmented with colour-tinted overlays. The SuperCast castings display a wide range of Wartime products including gun sight components computer cams for targeting gun turrets flight instruments Army Air Force automatic pilot and bomb sight parts and more. In addition a myriad of ticket marking machines metering instruments auto heaters refrigerator parts vending machine frames hair dryers T.V. antenna rotators pump impellers railroad speed recorders and much more spill across the large photos. This sales album focuses on the SuperCast zinc alloy die castings some with electro-plating along with machined aluminum alloy castings. A few of the Wartime Homefront factory photographs show a significant number of women working to aid the War effort in the packing and shipping department and the factory production floor. Harry Weiss 1882-1975 and Adrian Weiss 1894-1964 were both machinists and engineers with Adrian serving as engineer in the AEF in Europe from 1917-Dec. 1919 while Harry Weiss arranged financing and began producing the initial products of iron and steel castings sheet metal steel wire and steel products. From the 1920’s until after World War II the company produced die castings for automobiles electric motors appliances engines phonographs calculating machines mechanical toys motion picture projectors and more. Heiser 1881-1938 was art and commercial photographer in Cleveland OH who maintained a large staff of photographers and engravers. He frequently taught classes in and around Cleveland along with W.H. Bass of Indianapolis on how to build successful commercial photography businesses and detailing how to prepare product photos. Rebman 1910-1962 formed his commercial studio during World War II after leaving his job working as pressman and photographer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and his commercial Rebman Photo Service expanded and continued operating as a family business following his death. Family tradition would be continued later by his nephew Mort Tucker who had enhanced the business of Rebman Photo by focusing more on department store and fashion photography as well as architects financial institutions and more. This cataloguer could find almost no remaining historical reference or physical presence of any photographs related to the company and in fact the sole portfolio of undated company trade literature under SuperCast Die Castings is held by Cleveland State.

Folio. Engr., folding frontispiece, t. p., (2), 378 [but: 380], 108, (20) pp. With 10 folding plates, woodcut arms on title-page, and numerous ornamental woodcut initials ins vignettes. Contemporary calf, dated 1681, with giltstamped spine title.

"One of the great memorial volumes of the Baroque" (Jantz). The frontispiece (dated 1678), showing the bust of Duke Ernest, is signed by Jacob von Sandrart (1630-1708, cf. Thieme/Becker XXIX, 397), as are the fine portrait of the Duke and a scene showing him lying in state among angels; the three views of the closed coffin, the funeral procession, the plate of memorial coins, and the three plates showing the order of the procession are very likely his work as well. The end is brought up by Kaspar von Stieler's "Hoch-Fürstlicher Ehren-Altar", "a giant-sized poem of 616 rhymed trochaic eight-beat lines, followed, with special title page, by 'Josias, Das ist: Der weyland Durchläuchtigste Fürst und Herr, Herr Ernst Herzog zu Sachsen [...] Mit dem Gottseligen Könige Josia verglichen von M. Heinrich Ernst Treibern [...]'; 208 alexandrine lines, with annotations" (Faber du F.). The poet, jurist, and lexicographer Stieler (1632-1707) is often cited as possible editor of the entire fêtebook. - No other copy with 10 plates is known: contains not only the frequently missing portrait (c. 60 x 44 cm), but also both views of the un-draped coffin. Occasional slight paper damage to multiple folds; slight edge tear to portrait. Calf binding shows signs of professional restoration.

"Written for all who are interested in mirrors; the manufacturer, his manager and his apprentice, for the practical experimentalist and, perhaps, even for the scientist and explorer of present and future possibilities. Part I provides a short survey of the whole field. Part II goes into detail, beginning with a brief history of mirrors and a fairly comprehensive description of all the silvering processes at present employed in the mirror and related industries. A chapter is devoted to the possibility of explosions, and the necessary precautions to avoid them. The appendices contain lists of literature, of learned and trade societies, schools, museums and patents - information which cannot be found anywhere else in such completeness." - dust jacket.
