Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of pneumatic transportation, a system of propelling vehicles through enclosed tubes using air pressure. The author takes readers on a journey through the history of this innovative concept, exploring its origins in the early 19th century with pioneers like Medhurst, Vallance, and Pinkus. The book examines the development of atmospheric railways and their limitations, highlighting the crucial role of airtight tunnels and piston-carriages in overcoming the challenges of leakage and high pressures. The narrative then shifts to the groundbreaking work of the Pneumatic Dispatch Company in London, charting the successful implementation of pneumatic tubes for mail delivery, with connections established between railway stations and the General Post Office. The book details the technical aspects of the system, including the machinery used to create and manipulate air pressure, the design of the tubes and carriages, and the efficiency of the process. Further exploration delves into the potential of pneumatic transport for passengers, showcasing the first public trial of a pneumatic passenger railway at Sydenham in 1864. The book highlights the safety, comfort, and speed achieved in this system, showcasing its ability to handle inclines and curves beyond the capability of conventional railways. The author concludes by discussing the ambitious plans for a pneumatic passenger railway in London, encompassing a route under the Thames River, and examining the potential benefits and advantages of this technology over traditional locomotive-based railways. The book provides a unique historical and technical account of pneumatic transport, shedding light on the evolution and potential of this intriguing mode of transportation.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the fifth in a series published from 1872â"1876. It provides an in-depth look at breakthroughs in science from that era. The book covers the discovery of salicylic acid and its uses as a disinfectant and antiseptic. It examines the increased solubility of salicylic acid when combined with borax, making it more effective for wound treatment. The author discusses the action of sulfuric acid on various lead alloys, emphasizing the importance of specific alloy compositions for resisting corrosion. The book also explores the unique properties of fused boracic acid, such as its hardness, resistance to friction, and ability to act upon polarized light. These discoveries have had a significant impact on the understanding and application of chemistry and metallurgy.

Tela editoriale verde cornici a secco sui piatti, titoli dorati sul dorso e sul piatto anteriore, qui con fregio raffigurante pompa petrolifera, 8vo cm13x19.5, pp (2) 400 (8) (2), numerose figure al tratto nel testo e alcune tavole incise e protette da velina, incluso il ritratto all'antiporta. Almanacco scientifico del 1872, con numerosi articoli e notizie curiose dell'epoca. Il maggiore articolo tratta della mitragliatrice Gatling, con ritratto dell'inventore Richard Jordan Gatling all'antiporta e due tavole raffiguranti l'una, disegnata fa Bonwill e incisa da Parine, l'arma in varie configurazioni in vignette entro cornice decorativa, e l'altra, ottenuta attraverso il metodo fotolitografico di John Walter Osborne, la stessa montata a dorso di cammello. Inoltre articoli sui lavori di sistemazione dello stretto dell'East River (Hell Gate, con immagini degli scavi, dei macchinari e draghe, dei palombari), i tunnel Hoosac e del Moncenisio, il nuovo ufficio postale di Broadway con spaccato della stazione di metropolitana, numerose notizie di innovazioni meccaniche, nautiche, ecc, fino ad arrivare alle curiosità come una bizzarra ?Baby-Power Washing-Machine? che unisce dondolo e lavapanni. In calce pubblicità editoriale e notizie sulla registrazione dei brevetti. Etichette ex-libris sul primo e sull'ultimo contropiatto, e sulla prima sguardia (con timbretto di privata collocazione), lievi segni del tempo, carte inevitabilmente un po' brunite. Buona copia.
