Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ironwork, Vol. 2: Being a Continuation of the First Handbook, and Comprising From the Close of the Mediaeval Period to the End of the Eighteenth Century, Excluding English Work All that science and technical education can do to advance the smith is being taught, but no succinct account of the develop ment, bearings, and possibilities of smithcraft, as an art, has been written. The mutual in uences of different art-centres upon each other, and the inter-relations of the smithcraft of different countries, have not been traced; neither has any serious analysis of the characteristics which distinguish the ironwork of each country at different periods been hitherto attempted. The large amount of research required for such a work has doubtless deterred any competent writer from undertaking it. The four years that have elapsed since the first part was written, have in fact, scarcely sufficed to collect the data for the present slight pioneer work, which it is hoped, however, may suffice to lay before the black smith, his employers, and teachers, so much as it is essential they should have at command, if their craft is to keep abreast of such fellow-crafts as the gold and silver smiths', potters', cabinet makers', or weavers'.

Book excerpt: The company that Leroy Grumman founded in 1929 has been linking with the aircraft of the US Navy since 1930. Grumman aircraft have been in every major conflict from the Second World War through Korea and Vietnam to the Gulf and Bosnia. Their factory in Bethpage, Long Island, New York, (affectionately known as the 'Ironworks') produced some of the best carrier-borne aircraft ever made including the TBM Avenger (most successful torpedo bomber of all time), the Hellcat and Wildcat as well as the F-14 Tomcat and A-6 Intruder. Grumman-built Lunar Modules were used in the Apollo space missions and successfully landed men on the moon. The Ironworks is a comprehensive history of the Grumman Corporation and its many aircraft, both civil and military. -- Back cover.
Download or read book Bath Iron Works written by Andrew C. Toppan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002-08-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bath Iron Works was established by Gen. Thomas Hyde in 1884 and launched its first ship in 1891. This collection of shipbuilding photographs brings to life the proud history of Bath Iron Works. Since then, the shipyard on the Kennebec River has built dozens of luxurious yachts, hardworking freighters, tugs, trawlers, lightships, and more than two hundred twenty warships for the U.S. Navy. Today, Bath Iron Works continues a shipbuilding tradition that began nearly four hundred years ago when the first ship built in America was constructed just a few miles downriver from Bath. Bath Iron Works showcases a unique collection of photographs that provides a rare view inside one of the nation's great shipyards. The book shows the yard's origins in a few simple buildings, its expansion into a modern shipbuilding facility, and its rapid growth into an industrial powerhouse during World War II. During these years, Bath Iron Works produced famous ships such as the America's Cup defender Ranger, the yachts Aras and Hi-Esmaro, the record-setting destroyer USS Lamson, and fully one fourth of all destroyers built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. Bath Iron Works gives an insider's view of these great vessels and many others, as skilled craftspeople turn raw materials into complex ships, each uniquely suited to its purpose.

Download or read book English Ironwork of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries written by J Starkie Gardner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title comes with a new Introduction by Bethan Griffiths and Peter Milington. We are fortunate today that there is a far greater understanding and appreciation of our heritage, and how it should be cared for, than there was at the time J. Starkie Gardner's book was written. For the many people interested in and involved with the care and conservation of heritage ironwork "English Ironwork of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries" is an invaluable reference, not just for researching specific pieces but also for understanding the historic context of the ironwork of the period. It is also full of illustrations of once surviving examples in need of repair, and these photographs can give clues to their original form. Where ironwork has gone missing, the information can help to inform the design of replica work. There are few books on decorative historical ironwork and the small number there are highlight the fact that, overall, the subject of wrought ironwork has been insufficiently studied and is a rich field for cataloguing and research. Within the pages of Starkie Gardner's book are clues to the identification of further pieces of ironwork, particularly the many he did not cover, from which there is still much to learn. It is hoped that reissue of the book acts as an inspiration to those involved with the study, care and refurbishment of ironwork to continue the work he started in the recording and sharing of ironwork discoveries. However, the huge amount of surviving work of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries should not be forgotten as of this also too little is known; here again there is need for further cataloguing and research.
