    8vo. [8 pp (unpaginated).], printed in red & black. Black printed softcovers, white lettering front cover, company logo illust. on back cover (minor shelfwear, slight rubbing, very slight chip to upper right corner), still VG copy. First edition of this scarce promotional brochure by this pioneering California oil and mining company, initially drawing upon petroleum and asphalt mines near Bakersfield, California by the late 1880's. They had originally drawn upon deposits in Asphalto and Hazleton, but later these were played out due to high production costs to refine out the clay, but later the company made a large discovery in 1893 just prior to the publication of this promotional piece, touting 79% level of bitumen, and production of asphalt vital for use in lacquers, paints, and road construction. Worldcat locates 1 copy (UC Berkeley); See: Asphaltum, Mineral Resources of the United States 1893-1894 (1895), pp. 633-634; Asphaltum, Standard Asphalt Company of California, Los Angeles Herald, April 5, 1891, p. 6.

    First edition hard back binding in publisher's original grey cloth covers, gilt and maroon title and author block lettering to the spine. 8vo. 8'' x 5¼''. Between 1928 and 1932 Hamilton was the principal engineer of a British-built strategic road across Iraqi Kurdistan, which ran from Erbil, through Rawandiz, to the Iranian border near modern day Piranshahr. The road became known as the Hamilton Road. Although Hamilton hoped the road would unite the peoples of the region, it has been fought over many times. He describes in detail the building of the road in this 1937 book. Contains 331 pp + 28 monochrome archive photographs throughout + 2 folding maps to the rear (Iraq and the Road through Kurdistan, and The Rowanduz Road). End papers cracked and repaired, rubbing of the cloth across the spine ends, corners and edges of the cloth worn through to the boards, two small repaired tears to the edge of the first map, no dust wrapper.

    Oblong 8vo. 10 x 7 in. [142 pp (unpaginated).], thick black paper stock, w/ 298 original photographs, sized from 2 x 3 in. up to 3.25 x 5.5 inches (280 this size, 2 of them cyanotype), and the majority with neat white ink manuscript descriptions, linen-backed frontisp. map of Hornell, NY dated 1915. Contemporary limp black-cloth post-binder, sewn at gutter margin w/ black silk braid (minor soiling, tidemark to outer fore-edges of front cover, first couple leaves, minor fraying & wear to corners), still a VG- exemplar, w/ most images with strong contrast. This remarkable album documents the tremendous range of road building projects, sewer improvements, bridge building, and dam construction in and around Hornell, NY in Steuben County in the years before World War I. Steuben County was the next to the last County in New York State to join the Good Roads Board sponsored by the American Automobile Association in 1907, primarily because during the opening decades of the 20th century that area of New York had some of the worst roads. These images show the construction and building of sewer lines on Crosby Street, Canister Street, paving projects on East Ave., Jane Street, West Street -- with fantastic images of early Foote Concrete Machinery Co. road paver in operation pouring concrete, West Genesee Street, Church Street, and others. Sitterley (b. 1889) makes a study of the filtering systems and sewer plant for New York City at the time, includes photo of the newly opened Hornell trolley "Subway," as well as numerous photos of poor condition sidewalks which were slated for modernization as an adjunct of the Good Roads agenda, hand-in-hand with laying of new sewer lines. In addition, he has included photo of himself with surveyor's transom, and the Hornell City Engineer, together with the City Park Superintendent. A significant portion of the album is devoted to the building of the Seneca Street Bridge, including the building of the coffer dams to hold back the water to pour the piers, the construction of the abutments and finally the finished bridge. That bridge would later be rebuilt by a WPA project in 1936, and now is up for replacement again. Sitterley's last major projects were overseeing the building of the new Hornell city dams and city reservoirs, together with road improvements, gate houses, and spillways. In March, 1916 he leaves Hornell, NY to become Chief Mining Engineer for the Low Moor Iron Co. which was a producer of pig iron in Alleghany County of Western Virginia which operated from 1872-1930. The company was often plagued with labor unrest as they maintained very poor "Company" towns, and were constantly struggling with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to ship their ore. In 1916, they were on the upswing as a company as the growing steel demands of World War I began to lift all ore producers at the time. See: Corning Convention of Good Roads Associations, Good Roads Magazine, April, 1907, pp. 134-135; Homer Aldrich Sitterley, Bi-Monthly Bulletin of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, No. 126 (June, 1917), p. xxxv; Russell, Story of the Great Flood and Cyclone Disasters in New York State (1913), New York Roots (1999); Papers of the Low Moor Iron Company, 1873-1927, Special Collections, Univ. of Virginia Library (2010).

    Oblong 8vo. 9.5 x 6 in. [16 pp (unpaginated).], printed photo plate, followed by plates of elevations, and bridge plans. Original gray printed softcovers, black lettering front cover (minor corner chip to first page, couple closed tears w/ minor repairs, dustsoiling to fore-edges), still a VG- copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce catalogue of touting "Kellogg"truss bridges which consisted of Pratt inner bracing, with additional diagonals, and were popular in the Northeast at the end of the 1800's until about 1901-1905, spanning between 75 to 150 feet. These types of bridges played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved, and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock, macadam, dirt roads, or even paths. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts, the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile, who favored sturdy durable bridges which could be easily maintained. These Kellogg truss bridges featured riveted steel trusses, and were often anchored in stone foundations. Charles H. Kellogg (the elder) was an active bridge engineer and builder whose firm wen through several different configurations and owners between 1870-1915, while his son Charles H. Kellogg (the younger), operated his own company from 1891-1901, and should not be confused with the short-lived Kellogg Iron Bridge Works Co. which was using the Union Bridge Company's shop.

    4to. [24 pp (unpaginated).], printed in red, gray & black throughout. Photo text illustrations throughout, decorative borders, illustrations. Self-printed colour-illustrated softcovers, cover art of Avery road tractors, and scrapers front & back (minor edgewear, creasing, minor wear & dustsoiling w/ tiny closed tears at spine), still VG- copy. First edition of this uncommon catalogue of equipment which played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved, and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock, macadam, dirt roads, or even paths. Sidewalks were nearly unknown, and unlike Europe, road construction was not primarily managed by national, or local governments. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts, the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile. This catalogue illustrates Avery road tractors, graders, scarifiers, blades, drag scrapers, and more building roads in Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, and more. The Avery company was founded initially in Galesburg, IL following the Civil War by Robert and John Avery, with Robert as the ever-intrepid inventor and machinist, one of whose earliest inventions was the riding cultivator. By 1883 and teamed up with his brother Cyrus, the company proved successful, and after 1892 became well-known for their internal combustion engine equipment. By 1920, the company led by Bartholomew employed 4000 people, and pioneered motor cultivators, and road-building equipment, but was hit by the post-World War I depression about the time this catalogue was issued, and although the company attempted to reorganize, and laid off 90% of its workforce, it failed by 1923, and was renamed the Avery Power Machinery Co. The company limped through the Great Depression, and closed finally in World War II.

Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts, the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile. In 1901 the F.C. Austin Manufacturing Co. and the Western Wheeled Scraper Co. which had been fierce competitors formed a selling corporation known as Austin-Western Road Machinery Co. The company specialized initially in building scrapers, but during the opening decades of the 20th century began producing wheel graders, patrol graders, self motor graders, snow plows, rollers, dump wagons, gutter cleaners, and even asphalt hot patch outfits, all shown in this catalogue. In 1916 just 12 years before, President Wilson had signed the Federal Aid Road Act enabling America to embark on a truly national highway and road construction campaign that continued to the end of the 1920s.

    Seventh Edition. 237 x 145. (9 3/8 x 5 3/4"). 3 p.l., vii, [1], viii, [1], 6-236 pp. Publisher's blue paper boards and brown paper backstrip, original printed paper label, EDGES UNTRIMMED AND MOSTLY UNOPENED. A Large Paper Copy. Just the faintest evidence of foxing at very beginning and very end, corners with slight wear (as always), superficial chafing to covers, but AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY, the binding remarkably clean and with no significant signs of use, and the wide-margined text unusually fresh and nearly as white as snow. In its original boards, untrimmed, and partly unopened, this is a wonderful contemporary copy of an important later edition of the magnum opus of a man whose name came to be synonymous with road improvement. DNB tells us that Scottish-born John Loudon McAdam (1756-1836) was "the first systematic builder and administrator of roads in Britain since Roman times," and his impact was so great that his name lives on to the present day in connection with paved surfaces. The use of "macadam" or "macadamized" to mean a good road surface began in the 1820s, and continued through the invention of the automobile, when dusty roads began to be improved with tar. At first, "tar" was combined with "macadam," producing the term "tarmacadam" when referring to these improved roads; eventually, this became shortened to "tarmac," which still is broadly understood to refer to road surfaces (and more specifically to airport runways). Our author first published "Remarks on the Present System of Road Making" in 1816 to deliver his suggestions for an improved paving method, following his extensive survey of the roads of Britain. His system--in which roads were built with a cambered surface for drainage, using layers of consistent sizes of stones and gravel--soon caught on both within Britain and abroad. The present seventh edition features a variety of new material, much of which deals with McAdam's efforts to encourage legislation for improving roads; this includes a new preface and advertisement, as well as the "Minutes of Evidence" given by witnesses regarding turnpike improvement from March to May 1819 and the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on McAdam's system from June, 1823. As evidenced by its appearance in multiple printings, McAdam's "Remarks" was a widely used book, but our remarkably well-preserved copy in its publisher's boards--obviously and decidedly--was not.
