New York & London: Babcock & Wilcox, March, 1893. Tall quarto. Original brown cloth blocked in gilt and blind, all edges red, floral patterned endpapers. Lithographic half title. Engravings and illustrations from photos throughout. Ownership ink stamp of Edmund Prechtel to front pastedown and title, ownership signature of the same to the front blank. Cloth a little rubbed and spotted with some scattered loss of size, small tear at the base of the spine panel, contents faintly toned. Excellent condition. "Steam, Its Production and Use, together with a Catalogue of Manufactures". A very attractive 1893 German language catalogue of the pioneering power firm Babcock & Wilcox, the first edition of which was published in 1875. This 180-page catalogue is heavily illustrated with both photos and engravings. In addition to specifications for the firm's boiler models, it includes a detailed overview of steam power and the operations of different types of boilers, as well as information about the company and a complete list of the boilers they have already installed. Loosely inserted is a single leaf advert for the Babcock & Wilcox boiler "with Colonial Furnace, suitable for burning green bagasse", and three charming, pictorial advertising flyers for equipment produced by the Bopp & Reuther firm of Mannheim, Germany. Babcock & Wilcox was founded as a manufacturer of industrial steam boilers in Providence, Rhode Island in 1867, and has remained a leader in power generation to the present day. Among their many achievements have been: the supply of a boiler for Edison's Menlo Park laboratory in 1878; the powering of America's first electricity-producing central generating station in Philadelphis in 1881; supplying the equipment for Edison's Pearl Street Station in New York City, the worlds first public electrical utility, which opened in 1882 (Edison would later write that Babcock & Wilcox manufactured "the best boiler God has permitted man yet to make"); the supply of boilers to power US and British naval vessels in the 1890s; the production of electricity for New York's first subway; the construction of the water pipe system at the Hoover Dam; and the supply of weapons components for the Manhattan Project and equipment for the world's first nuclear-powered sub, the USS Nautilus.
