‎Stability of Aeroplanes.‎

‎(Washington, Government Printing Office, 1915). 8vo. As extracted from ""the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution"". A fine and clean copy. Pp. 209-216.‎

‎First printing of Orville Wright's speech on the longitudinal equilibrium, or how to keep the stability of aeroplanes, thus being one of the very first manuals on how to fly an aeroplane. ""Although in learning to fly the beginner finds most difficulty in mastering the lateral control, it is his lack of knowledge of certain features of the fore-and-aft equilibrium that leads to most of the serious accidents"". (From the introduction to the present speach). The Wright brothers were early on aware of the importance of longitudinal control. Most of the early airplanes - the ones that could actually lift off ground - had the decisive flaw of having bad, in some cases non-existing, longitudinal control which eventually caused the airplanes to crash. In the summer of 1910, the Wright Company introduced what would become their most popular aircraft - the Wright Model B. The Model B was a pusher biplane with wing warping to control roll, like their earlier aircraft. But unlike earlier aircrafts it also had a conventional tail assembly, which gave it better longitudinal stability, and it rested on wheels rather than skids, doing away with the need to launch the aircraft from a rail. This model was produced from 1910 through 1914. In 1911 the U.S. Congress made its first appropriation for military aviation. Four airplanes were ordered and numbers 3 and 4 were Wright Model B's. Both were accepted at Fort Sam Houston, Texas on April 17, 1911.The two brothers were also investigating automatic stability systems. They devised a mechanism that could sense changes in attitude and longitude which would make compensating adjustments to keep the aircraft flying evenly in the desired direction. It consisted of a pendulum, which sensed and controlled roll or yaw, and a vane, which sensed the aircraft's pitch. They applied for a patent for this automatic stabilizing system on February 8, 1908.""The culmination of the Wrights’ achievements came with Wilbur’s two flights at New York in 1909. On 29 September, taking off from and landing at Governors Island, he made a circuit of the Statue of Liberty"" on 4 October he flew a twenty-one-mile course to Grant’s Tomb and back. After their triumph the brothers quietly turned to teaching others to fly and to directing the Wright Company. They now had many imitators and rivals, and were forced to defend their pioneer patent in the courts."" (DSB).‎

‎Sabin 18642. - Première édition française de cet important journal de voyage à travers les États de la Nouvelle-Angleterre et de l'Est du Canada, à plusieurs égards. Avec une dédicace du traducteur au général Lafayette qui, en 1824, choisit Frances Wright pour l'accompagner dans un de ses voyages en Amérique. France Wright (1795 - 1852), orpheline écossaise, journaliste, féministe intrépide, conférencière hors pair, militante dans la lutte contre l'esclavage et la protection des peuples autochtones d'Amérique du Nord, admiratrice de Robert Owen et Fourier, est sans conteste l'une des auteurs les plus oubliés, mais aussi l'une des plus brillantes critiques sociales du début du XIXe siècle qui souligne acérément les revendications mais décrit également, sous le jour des faits, la nouvelle élite émergente en Nouvelle Angleterre. Leurs tentatives ultérieures de libérer les esclaves du travail forcé ont manifestement échoué en raison de leur propre attitude idéaliste. - Copie non découpée. L'avant titre et la dernière feuille du premier volume sont doublés de papier japonais. Parfois légèrement taché. Une bonne copie de travail. - Sabin 18642. - Erste französische Ausgabe dieser, in mehrfacher Hinsicht wichtigen Reisebeschreibung durch die Staaten Neuenglands und des Ostens von Kanada. Mit einer Widmung des Übersetzers an General Lafayette, der Frances Wright 1824 als Begleiterin für eine seiner Amerikareisen auswählte. France Wright (1795-1852), Schottisches Waisenkind, Journalistin, unerschrockene Frauenrechtlerin, hervorragende Rednerin, Aktivistin im Kampf gegen die Sklaverei und den Schutz der Nordamerikanischen Indigenen, Verehrerin von Robert Owen und Fourier, gehört unbestritten zu den vergessensten, aber auch zu den schillernsten sozialkritischen Autorinnen des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts, die mit spitzer Feder die Missstände aufzeigt, daneben aber auch die sich bildende neue Elite Neuenglands anekdotisch beschreibt. Ihre späteren Versuche zur Befreiung von Sklaven aus der Zwangsarbeit scheiterten offenbar an ihrer eigenen idealistischen Grundhaltung. - Unbeschnittenes Exemplar. - Der Vortitel und das letzte Blatt des ersten Bandes mit Japanpapier doubliert. Vereinzelt leicht fleckig. Ein gutes Arbeitsexemplar.‎

‎Frank Lloyd Wright : His Living Voice‎

‎, Press at California State University, Fresno / CSUF, 1987 Hardcover, 207 pages, ENG, 235 x 160 mm, in good condition, dustjacket, ill. in b/w. ISBN 9780912201139.‎

‎Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 ? April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".‎

‎Raising Hell on the Rock 'n' Roll Highway ‎

‎, OMNIBUS PRESS 2009, 2009 Hardcover, 303 pages, ENG, 275 x 215 mm, as good as new, hundreds of pictures in b/w, . ISBN 9781847726865.‎

‎As a friend and cohort of some of rock music's biggest legends - The Who, Rod Stewart and The Faces, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Joe Walsh and many others - photographer Tom Wright was given unparalleled access to almost every aspect of the musicians' lives, on and off stage. With a foreword by The Who's Pete Townshend, "Roadwork" is a compilation of Wright's groundbreaking photography and the true stories behind the captivating pictures. Gritty and realistic, poignant and beautiful, Wright's photos powerfully deconstruct the glamour of life on the road, capturing the true essence of rock and roll: the musicians, roadies, fans and beautiful women who follow the bands. Over the year, Wright has allowed almost no commercial access to his work; and his photographs have been available to only the musicians he's worked with and a handful of record company executives...until now.‎
