OTTOMAN NAVAL FORCES / PAMPHLET FOR THE LIQUID FUEL Yag-i mâyi' mahrûkâti ve tertîbâti. i.e. Liquid oil fuel and its assembly. Translated into Ottoman Turkish by Bahriye Nezâreti Çarhçi sic. Çarkçi Komisyonu.

1912réf. 053689Istanbul: Matbaa-yi Bahriyye. AH 1328 1912. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Paperback in original wrappers. Demy 8vo. 21 x 14 cm. In Ottoman script Turkish with Arabic letters. 16 p. Rear cover is missing. This pamphlet mostly prepared in the form of questions and answers describes the technical infrastructure required for the use of liquid oil fuel in warships. It was prepared for officers studying at the navy schools of the Imperial Ottoman in the early 20th century. On the cover it's indicated to be translated by the Ottoman Naval Forces Commission of Engines but no information on which source to be used to translate it. It's printed after the Second Constitutional Regime in 1908 and Tripoli War in 1911 probably during the Balkan Wars 1912-1913. Following the Young Turk Revolution in 1908 the Committee of Union and Progress which effectively took control of the country sought to develop a strong Ottoman naval force. The poor condition of the fleet became evident during the Ottoman Naval Parade of 1910 and the Ottoman Navy Foundation was established in order to purchase new ships through public donations. Those who made donations received different types of medals according to the size of their contributions. In 1910 the Ottoman Navy purchased two pre-dreadnought battleships from Germany: SMS Weissenburg and her sister ship SMS Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm. These ships were renamed Turgut Reis and Barbaros Hayreddin respectively. The Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912 and the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 proved disastrous for the Ottoman Empire. In the former the Italians occupied Ottoman Tripolitania present-day Libya and the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea and the Regia Marina defeated Ottoman light naval forces in the battles of Preveza Beirut and Kunfuda Bay. In the latter a smaller Greek fleet successfully engaged with Ottoman battleships in the naval skirmishes of Elli and Lemnos. The better condition of the Greek fleet in the Aegean Sea during the Balkan Wars led to the liberation of all Ottoman-held Aegean islands other than those in the Italian-occupied Dodecanese. It also prevented Ottoman reinforcements and supplies to the land battles on the Balkan peninsula where the Balkan League emerged victoriously. The only Ottoman naval successes during the Balkan Wars were the raiding actions of the light cruiser Hamidiye under the command of Rauf Orbay. For this reason the Naval Ministry on the one hand tried to train a large number of sailor officers by printing technical booklets like this in order to close the gap. Faded on the cover chipped on extremities and spine. Otherwise a good and rare copy. Not in Özege.; Only one copy in OCLC: 949520567 Bogaziçi Uni. Library. Matbaa-yi Bahriyye., [AH 1328] paperback

Superior was founded in 1889 by Patrick Shouvlin who was servicing oil field equipment and quickly grew. In the 1890s his shop adopted the Superior Company name and later made arrangements with National Supply Company to distribute and market their engines. He initially produced gas engines that would run on the plentiful natural gas being produced in the Lima Ohio area at the time replacing steam which was costly to operate and maintain as well as much more dangerous. His engine was well-received and became the standard for pumping oil in the United States. Superior was purchased by National Supply in 1929 and later by White Motors in 1955. No copies located in Worldcat or NUC and printed notice indicates that the salesman was charged $ 100.00 for the book to be refunded when returned.

Early Automotive Engineering Anonymous French Technical Manuscript Analyzing Hispano Suiza Twelve Cylinder Engine circa 1905 to 1915

1902réf. 152261902. Anonymous. Technical manuscript on early automobile engineering circa 1905 to 1915 documenting the foundational mechanical and electrical principles that shaped European motor production during its formative decades. Written in French and progressing from theoretical foundations to applied engine analysis the text reflects the rapid professionalization of automotive engineering in the years following the establishment of firms such as Hispano Suiza in 1902. Headings including "Concepts mécaniques élémentaires" and "Concepts élémentaires d'électricité" introduce structured treatments of ignition systems magnetos carburetors cooling mechanisms starting systems and multi cylinder crankshaft design. Several pages are devoted to the Hispano twelve cylinder V engine noting: "Dans le moteur de Hispano 12 cylindres en V. chaque rangée composée d'un seul bloc en aluminium qui comprend la chambre de combustion. Les soupapes sont réglées à chaud et sont en acier nitruré" emphasizing aluminum block construction and nitrided steel valves. The manuscript captures a technological transition from experimental motor carriages to precision engineered touring and racing automobiles situating engineering knowledge within the broader industrial modernization of early twentieth century France. Anonymous. Technical manuscript in notebook form. No place circa 1905 to 1915. Fifty four handwritten pages in an 8 x 10 inch notebook extensively illustrated with pen drawn schematics sectional diagrams and labeled mechanical studies. Accompanied by a contemporary printed automobile exhibition advertisement approximately 14 x 11 inches featuring Hispano Suiza and other marques with illustrated coachbuilt body styles. The structured progression from elementary theory to detailed mechanical application suggests disciplined technical study at a moment when automobile engineering was emerging as a specialized scientific field. Drawings detailing carburation systems electrical current generation spark plug ignition twelve cylinder crankshafts and coachbuilder configurations reflect the integration of metallurgy electrical innovation and luxury design characteristic of the period. The inclusion of motor show ephemera situates the notebook within the culture of early twentieth century industrial exhibitions where technological advancement and commercial display intersected. Minor edge wear to notebook covers and light toning to pages consistent with age; manuscript clean and legible throughout. Overall condition: very good. unknown

THE FIRST STEAM RAILROAD PASSENGER EXCURSION TRAIN IN AMERICA.

1870réf. 57389Boston: Antique Publishing Co. ca. 1870. Misinformation at the Speed of Steam A scarce and unusual lithograph published by the Antique Publishing Company in Boston mistakenly celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the "first Steam Railroad Passenger Excursion Train in America." The print which features a large image of an early steam train after a silhouette by noted artist William Henry Brown claims that the English engine "John Bull" was run by the Mowhawk & Hudson Railroad Company as the first steam passenger train in 1831 with fifteen passengers in two coaches. The story told by the print cited by numerous books and articles over the years is in fact almost entirely wrong: the Mohawk & Hudson ran one of the earliest steam railroad passenger excursions but not the first. Their engine was named the "DeWitt Clinton" which is clearly the engine pictured in the lithograph - not the famous English steam train. The train had six carriages and carried close to eighty passengers on its first voyage. The DeWitt Clinton took passengers from Albany to Schenectady bypassing the lengthy process of navigating the locks through the Erie Canal. The original artist William H. Brown was a railroad employee and history buff himself and wrote a brief paper about the mistaken print that was discussed by the American Institute in 1873: "The train consisted of six passenger cars; only the two first were represented in Mr. Brown's picture which was cut out of black paper with a pair of scissors a peculiar art possessed by Mr. Brown in an eminent degree. The original picture.Mr. Brown presented to the Historical Society at Hartford where it now is and is highly valued for its antiquity. Some years ago this picture was photographed and lithographed by the Boston Antique Publishing Co. and thousands of copies sold all over the country. Not knowing the true history of Mr. Brown's original sketch.it has been called the English Locomotive John Bull and represented as the first locomotive run in America and thus the whole community have been deceived." This print exists in several states: with and without "Excursion" in the title with and without a printed border and with and without additional printed text on the verso. This is the state with printed border "Excursion" in the title and no text on the verso. In any event all states are scarce - we locate copies of each state at the Library of Congress a copy of the present state at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a copy without "Excursion" at Villanova a copy with printed verso at Harvard's Artemas Ward House and unspecified states at the Peabody Essex Museum Boston Public Library and New-York Historical Society. An uncommon print with a curiously long legacy of misinformation in railroad literature. Lithographic print 12 x 20 inches. Old creases. Several small tears repaired with tape on verso chip in lower margin. Corners dampstained. Good. William H. Brown "The First American Locomotive" in Thirty-Fourth Annual Report of the American Institute of the City of New York for the Year 1873 Albany 1874 pp.324-325. unknown
