Norman Atkinson, himself toolmaker and machine tool draughtman, investigates Whitworth in the context of his personal life and the politics of his time, a man justifiably spoken of in the House of Commons as 'the world's best mechanician.'

ATTERBURY, PAUL CORNISH WARE & DOMESTIC POTTERY: NE OVER 250 COLOR, MANY 8 3/4 " X 9", 84 PGS | |
|
One of the most enduring images of 20th century domestic life in Britain must be a kitchen filled with blue-banded Cornish Ware. Generations have grown up with this familiar striped pottery, as quitessentially English as cricket and Agatha Christie. It is this familiarity, combined with a traditional taste for blue and white, that has made Cornish Ware so eminently collectible today, despite the hundreds of thousands of pieces produced since the 1920s, and despite the fact that it is still in production. Despite it's popularity, Cornish Ware was only a small part of T.G. Green's production, and the huge variety of tablewares and other domestic pottery made since the 1860s are increasingly of interest to collectors. When this book was first published in 1996, it concentrated exclusively on Cornish Ware. This new and expanded edition documents and illustrates many other T.G. Green wares, along with much more Cornish Ware. |

BACON, DENNIS A MECHANICAL HISTORY OF THE UNIVE 30 COLOR AND B&W, 24 7 1/2 " X 10", 176 P | |
|
Astronomy is the oldest science. It arose out of the needs of calendar making, time keeping, direction finding and navigation. The early Babylonian and Greek astronomers constructed mathematical concepts and models that allowed them to apply the regularities or celestial movements of these important social requirements. All ancient cultures asked the question "What is the structure of the universe?" However, it was only the Greeks who really sought an answer to this question based on the regularities of cosmic phenomena. The Greek astronomers tried to picture how the Earth, Sun, Moon and planets were arranged in space. There is evidence that not long after they constructed conceptual models of the universe, Greek astronomers also started attempts to model the concepts in mechanical terms. Efforts to construct mechanical models of the solar system have continued ever since. These resulting models form a mechanical record of our changing views of the solar system and a record of telescopic discoveries of new planets and satellites of planets, both old and new. The purpose of this book is to show how changes in our thinking about the solar system have been reflected in mechanical devices from antiquity to the twentieth century. Also covered are the discoveries about our solar system and how these have been incorporated into such mechanical instruments. |

From enlistment in the Army Air Corps at age nineteen as a Private to his retirement at age 44 as a Master Sgt., his unusual tale will interest all aviation, history, and gunnery buffs. At age twenty he volunteered for the American Volunteer Group, hardly aware of China and its problems with Japan, but was soon to find out as an armorer with Chennault's famed Flying Tigers. When that elite group was broken up, he returned to the States, soon to return to the CBI theater flying as a B-25 gunner with his good friend from the Tigers, R.T. Smith, in the First Air Commandos. The end of WWII was not the end of combat for Sgt. Baisden, who saw service in the Korean War, both as an armorer in the 80th Fighter-Bomber Squadron of the 8th Fighter-Bomber Group, and as a gunner on B-29s in the 93rd Heavy Bombardment Squadron, 19th Bomb Group. His last days in the Air Force were flown as an in-flight refueling technician in KC-97s with the 308th, 2nd, and 19th Air Refueling Squadrons. His down-to-earth narrative is interesting and informative, and is presented along with his own period Price: $30.00 |
