The rare appendixes, separately published, to the important ""Treadgold on the Steam Engine and on Steam Navigation"". Tredgold's work on the steam engine was long considered the best and most complete work of its kind. ""Few details of engine design escaped Tredgold's attention . . . his book is a curious combination of fact, theory, and speculation, and its author uses every opportunity to display his mathematical knowledge. Yet it undoubtedly was a notable contribution to steam engine design and theory in its day"" (Finch Engineering Classics pp 104-110). ""Thomas Tredgold (1788-1829) was a self-taught engineer. He trained as an apprentice cabinetmaker in Durham and then in Scotland before moving to London to work at his uncle's firm of architects. There he began an intense programme of self-improvement, reading books on engineering, chemistry, mineralogy, geology and mathematics. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Tredgold died relatively young from exhaustion.Tredgold's last major work was on The steam engine, published in 1827. In his preface, he apologises that his book appears to be rather large for its subject matter but explains that 'though confined to a single source of power, that power is gigantic …':"" (Devon & Exeter Institution)

(2),196 pp., 45 illustrations, mostly full-page, incl. photographic reproductions of calculating machines designed by Pascal, Leibniz, Burroughs, Felt, and others. Fine and clean. With a typed letter in 4to, signed by the author, to Mons. Paul Jeannin in Paris, Turck thanks Jeannin for his letter congratulating him on the success of this book, and recalls with pleasure going with Jeannin to see Pascal's calculating machine in Paris. 21 lines dated Wilmette, Ill., l1 11 décembre, 1925. (in French). Also with Felt & Tarrant shipping lebel addressed to Jeannin, incorporatiing a picture of their invention, the Comptometer, the first practical desktop calculator. This was presumably used on the package that held this book.
First edition of the first popular history of modern calculating machines.Turck was the inventor of several calculating machines, the earlliest being the Mechanical Accountant, which appeared around 1900. He joined the firm Felt & Tarrant in 1911, and his name appears jointly with that of Felt. After Felt's death, Turck took over design resoponsabilities for the business. The dual-register SuperTotalizer that appeared in 1934 was undoubtly his work. - Hook & Normann, origins of Cyberspace: 393.
