1968ref. 5022Antarctica 1968. Very good. 65pp. report typed on rectos only plus 28 leaves illustrated with eighty-six black-and-white mounted photographs each approximately 5 x 7 inches most accompanied by typed paper caption strips plus three loose photographs. Quarto. Original pressboard wrappers with metal spine fastener with printed title leaf pasted to front board. Minor wear to binding photos in generally nice condition. A typed report accompanied by detailed photographs documenting the 1967-1968 projects carried out by U.S. Naval Construction Battalion Unit 201 in Antarctica dubbed "Deep Freeze '68." The projects involved the upgrading and expansion of facilities at McMurdo Station and Palmer Station including water sewer and energy infrastructure improvements and laboratory and living-quarters construction. The original photographs here provide more than eighty-five detailed and well-captioned views of Antarctic construction architecture and engineering involved in the execution of “Deep Freeze ‘68” with sixty-five pages of typed reports providing a dense written summary in support of the project. Battalion Unit 201 had been newly established in 1967 as a Seabee unit specializing solely in Antarctic construction to continue supporting the series of "Operation Deep Freeze" missions first headed by Admiral Richard E. Byrd in the 1950s to establish a permanent research infrastructure on the then-largely unexplored Antarctic continent. Plagued by material shortages and the savage regional climate Unit 201 was disbanded at the end of “Deep Freeze ‘71” as the brief building season made the continuation of a dedicated Antarctic construction unit unfeasible. unknown

Since Harrah mechanics had to maintain a fleet of over 1425 automobiles many of them exceedingly rare early Brass Era and foreign models these volumes provided invaluable mechanical details. This immense and unique reference set reproduces over 22000 well-illustrated index research cards on 2525 leaves prepared by General Motors for their engineering and technical staff tracking and recording the myriad of manufacturers and suppliers for automobiles trucks aircraft and marine craft from the Brass Era through the Great Depression. These prepared by the GM in-house technical periodical “Motor Vehicle Digest” provide essential visual and technical historical data for the development patent history engineering inventions of most of the major and minor national and international automobile manufacturers and parts suppliers for over three decades prior to World War II. Basically serving as the automotive industry’s equivalent of the National Union Catalogue or Acta Sanctorum these gigantic volumes trace the origins mechanical development devices and equipment on 1000’s of different manufacturers most having been lost now to the passage of time and the many shake-ups during the 20th Century. Not only do they serve as original reference from contemporary technical journals in German French Italian Norwegian Dutch and Danish all neatly translated into English but also offer a means to visually trace the development of the automobile. The four “Engine Parts” volumes include extensive sections on magnetos gasoline pumps accessory drive chains camshaft gears water pumps pistons crank shafts water pumps fuel systems fuel gauges carburetors throttle controls air filters fuel injection and even the 1937 introduction of the Down Draft Carburetor. Of notable interest is the extensive section on radiator badges or mascots and Motometer ornaments for the radiators including winged Gods & Goddesses animals and grille ornaments. The myriad of manufacturers represented is dizzying ranging from Mercedes to Packard Bugatti to Lejeuene Wolsely to Zenith with Napier Thornycroft Solex Rateau Mercedes Rickenbacker Stromberg & Locomobile thrown in. Electrical systems transmissions gears steering systems suspension shocks and more are all minutely detailed. The “Roadwheels” volume encompasses a wide range of companies and developments attempting to deal with the rough roads prior to the Good Roads Movement including spring types with internal springs against the axle tension types compression types and those specifically developed for electric vehicles and companies building electric motors for each wheel hub. The two “Internal Combustion Engines” volumes encompass not only 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines for automobiles but also diesel or modified engines stationery engines submarine diesel engines ocean liner and locomotive engines rotary engines for aircraft and marine applications two-cycle or two-stroke engines developed for early motorcycles and motorcycle cars and even the innovative sleeve valve motors from Willys-Knight. Engine manufacturers range from Delahaye to Bentley Buda to Humboldt-Deutz along with Mianus Alpha Northill out of Los Angeles California Coventry-Victor Tuxham Plenty & Son and Brooke. The “Final Drives or Transmissions” volume examines drive axles front brakes and other systems for Tatra Bugatti Benze & Lorelei while “Electrical Systems & Parts” details nearly 35 years of spark plug priming plug and ignition apparatus from early Brass Era and efforts of Champion Milla Strumpell Helwig Mosler and others. Interestingly the volumes focus primarily on GM competitors inventions technology & development and much of the data drawn from often obscure contemporary automakers’ journals would have proven invaluable especially as before the internet global searches and other digital reference guides there would have been nearly no comparable cross-reference to foreign technology. Lord 1858-1929 was a Princeton alumni having graduated 1879 worked in cattle ranches and gold mining in Arizona spent several years as an insurance broker in New York and Spain worked for the US Secret Service and served during the Spanish-American War in the Army Commissary Dept. in Cuba. After working in advertising and newspapers in Seattle and assistant to the Univ. of Washington he was contracted by General Motors to oversee and compile their in-house “Motor Vehicle Digest” until his death. The GM MVD should not be confused with the many different “Motor Vehicle Digest” laws and subject volumes issued by various states in the first half of the 20th Century and the only extant set of the original in-house printed journal NOT these unique volumes is recorded at the General Motors Institute Collection in Flint MI. The Rectigraph Co. was bought out by Haloid in 1937 and later became Haloid-Xerox in 1958 and their process was also used by Photoclerk and Dexigraph of Remington Rand. These still offer essential technical reference as frequently many of the magazines in the collection have never been digitized for use or are largely unavailable other than through in-person visit to special collections libraries or museum references.
