About this title

Synopsis

A historical engineering journal issue that gathers a mix of memorials, technical reports, and practical papers.

It offers a window into late 19th‑century infrastructure thought, from notable biographical memoirs to standards debates and field reports.

This edition features a long memoir of E. Sylvester Chesbrough, outlining his career from early surveying work to leadership in waterworks. It also includes discussions from a Boston civil engineers meeting, notes on meridian surveys and land surveying, and reports from committees on weights and measures. Readers will encounter conversations about standard time, the twenty‑four hour notation, and efforts to unify pipe sizes and gauges, alongside summaries of water‑works projects, railway engineering, and surveying practice of the era.

A detailed professional biography that highlights early training, leadership, and the influences shaping a prominent engineer.
Reported debates and committee findings on time notation, measurement standards, and pipe gauge standards.
Excerpts and discussions from engineering societies on railroads, water systems, and surveying methods.
An array of practical notes, tables, and summaries reflecting the work and priorities of the period.

Ideal for readers of engineering history, railroad and water‑works enthusiasts, and researchers exploring the development of professional standards in the late 1800s.

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
