Fan Engineering. An Engineer's Handbook on Air, Its Movement and Distribution in Air Conditioning (etc.)

Buffalo, NY: Buffalo Forge Company, 1933. Third Edition, Rewritten and Reset. 12mo, black leatherette flexible boards with gilt imprinting on cover and spine, gray endpapers, All Edges Gilt, 622 pp. Fine; an amazing copy of its type and genre. Flawless but for the previous owning engineer's signature stamp and his "State of New York Licenses Engineer" blind seal on the endpapers. Collected by Richard Madison, with the project overseen by Willis H. Carrier - the "Father of Air Conditioning" - this is as collectible an example of this information-dense handbook, famous within its field, as you'll ever see. Please see scan. L-37n
