1913: Yorkshire industry and heavy engineering prior to WWI
Frank Wigglesworth & Co., Ltd. :
Mechanical Transmission of Power. Catalogue 1911. [Re-issued May 1913, with change of address].
Shipley, near Bradford, Yorkshire: 1913.
|
8 x 5.5 inches (21 x 14 cms). 283 pages.
A magnificently illustrated trade catalogue, with pricing, of gearings, pulleys, clutches, swivelling bearings and similar mechanical devices for the transmission of power.
In very nice overall condition, original soft cloth covers a touch soiled, internally virtually immaculate.
Protected in a modern handmade archival cloth slipcase, leather label lettered in gilt.
Wigglesworth and Company were suppliers for many industries both national and worldwide, including the Yorkshire and Lancashire textile industries and South African mining interests.
No other catalogue from this company from this period is recorded by COPAC as being held either by the British Library, by the National Library of Scotland, by the National Library of Wales, or by any other of Britain's major university, academic or
research libraries. In short, a virtually irreplaceable item.
