TOOL & CUTTER SHARPENING   Industrial Archaeology   A Day at the Factory Taken from The Penny Magazine, the world’s first weekly illustrated magazine, this is a look at British factories at the height of the Industrial Revolution. Covered are Butterley Iron Works, Stephenson’s Locomotive Works, an Oil Mill and many more. The technical processes are described and in some cases, you learn of the conditions of the time.     £12.35 (P&P £ 1.95 ) Qty   HAND FORGING AND WROUGHT-IRON ORNAMENTAL WORK by Googerty From 1911 comes this rather good book on ornamental blacksmithing. Just under half is a clear description of the tools and techniques used, and then you have instructions on making Twists, Scrollwork, Box forging, Embossing, Drawer-Pulls and Hinges, Doorplates, Lamps and a whole load more designs which were current 95 years ago, and might just be coming back into fashion! 197 heavily illustrated pages. Paperback.     £8.75 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   INDUSTRIAL BIOGRAPHY — IRON WORKERS AND TOOL MAKERS by Samuel Smiles This is a facsimile reprint of Smiles' lesser known work which details the early history and development of iron working and engineering from the middle ages. A fascinating book covering most of the engineers of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. 368 pages.     £12.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   JAMES BRINDLEY AND THE EARLY ENGINEERS by Samuel Smiles A facsimile reprint of one of the earliest books on water engineering. The first part of the book covers the work of Vermuyden, Myddelton, Perry, Trew, Matthews, Yarranton and the beginning of the canals in England. The second and largest part of the book covers in great detail the life of James Brindley. 352 pages     £12.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   JAMES WATT VOLUME 1: HIS TIME IN SCOTLAND 1736-1774 by Rev. Dr. Richard L. Hills James Watt is known today for his invention in 1765 of the separate condenser, which greatly improved the efficiency of the steam engine. He developed this whilst living in Scotland, but it was not until he moved to Birmingham in 1774 and forged his partnership with Matthew Boulton, that his invention became the major force behind the growth of the Industrial Revolution. This will be the definitive study of Watt for many years to come.     £37.50 (P&P £ 4.90 ) Qty   JAMES WATT VOLUME 2: THE YEARS OF TURMOIL 1775-1785 by Rev. Dr. Richard L. Hills This sequel covers amongst other topics Watt's partnership with Matthew Boulton, the development of the mine pumping engine and its introduction to Cornwall, his letter copying machine, development of the rotative steam engine and founding of the Soho Steam Engine Manufactory.     £26.99 (P&P £ 4.90 ) Qty   JAMES WATT VOLUME 3: Triumph Through Adversity 1785-1819 by Rev. Dr. Richard L. Hills The final book of the trilogy looking at the life and achievements of James Watt. This volume covers the final years of his life, a time of many changes in his fortunes ensuring that he continued to receive premiums from his patents when other were copying his inventions, leading to years of dispute in the Courts of Law. Yet in spite of these difficulties, James Watt triumphed and led an active life in his retirement until his death. These aspects of his life are fully explored as well as further inventions, including the important development of the rotary motion in factories to drive machinery. 59 b\w phots/illustrations and drawings. 288 pages. Hardback.     £26.99 (P&P £ 4.90 ) Qty   JOHN TAYLOR - Mining Entrepreneur and Engineer by R. Burt More than anyone else Taylor was responsible for transforming the traditional practices of British mining into a scientific discipline. This book gives details of the many activities during John Taylor's busy life and includes a bibliography of his publications.     £5.50 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   MATTHEW BOULTON by H. W. Dickinson In the history of the steam engine, Boulton tends to be overshadowed by James Watt. However, Boulton's contribution to the Industrial Revolution was the greater, for long before he met Watt he had developed a vast manufactory. This definitive book is an engrossing study of this enterprising man's life and his involvement with Watt. 256 pages     £9.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   MATTHEW MURRAY — PIONEER ENGINEER ed. by E. Kilburn Scott A detailed account of the life and work of Matthew Murray and of his locomotives, engines and machine tools. Covers the conflict that developed between Murray's company and that of Boulton & Watt. 136 pages     £7.95 (P&P £ 1.20 ) Qty   THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROTARY MOTION BY STEAM POWER by David Hulse In his second book David concentrates on two particular engines which are significant steps in the development of steam power. They are the world's first engine to achieve rotary motion by the use of a crank and flywheel followed by the first engine to have its rotational specs controlled by a governor. This important book continues David's detailed research into the history of steam power.     £11.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE STEAM ENGINE by David Hulse First serialised in Engineering in Miniature this mammoth work documents the development of the steam engine from the very earliest days. The author has not only carried out a vast amount of dedicated research, but he has also faithfully recreated several very historic engines in model form. With 117 drawings and photographs.     £11.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   THE LIFE & INVENTIONS OF RICHARD ROBERTS 1789-1864 by Richard L. Hills Roberts was one of this country's greatest inventors - the father of production engineering - in advance of Whitworth in enlarging the scope and accuracy of machine tools. This is the first full length biography to be written about him and looks at his life and inventions in the area of machine tools, the gas meter, textiles, road vehicles, railway locomotives, horology and ship building.     £29.95 (P&P £ 4.90 ) Qty   Two Engineers - Francis Thompson & Richard Trevithick David Hulse As was the case with David’s previous books, The Early Development of the Steam Engine and The Development of Rotary Motion by Steam Power, this latest work is the result of vast amount of research. David has gone back almost to the start of the Industrial Revolution and places those involved in the development of the steam engine in context. These two great engineers worked in the shadow of Watt and it is only now, long after their death that their work is fully recognised     £11.95 (P&P £ 1.60 ) Qty   * Denotes a "Past Masters" title     ** Denotes an American publication   (C) Copyright Tee Publishing 2006 Terms & Conditions | Conditions of Use | Privacy/Data Protection VAT No - 328 0133 89     Registration No. - 04245481
