What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

A very scarce first edition.

A comprehensive technical manual that codifies traditional practices in architectural and industrial sheet metal work, produced in Pittsburgh in the 1920s by the National Association of Sheet Metal Contractors.

The work serves as a practical guide for engineers, architects and contractors, providing detailed instruction in the fabrication, design, and installation of sheet metal components.

Illustrated throughout with a wealth of full page and vignette technical illustrations and diagrams.

Beyond architectural ornamentation, the book also covers systems essential to building infrastructure, including ventilation, heating ducts, blowpipe layouts, and gravity furnace installations.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Light shelf wear to back strip tail, with a touch of rubbing to front board fore edge. Light marks to rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Light handling marks to title page, with pages otherwise exceptionally clean and bright.
