first edition Cloth
1922
by Haven, Geo B. [ George ] ; [ Perry, S. S. ]
Massachusettts Institute of Technology ( MIT ), 1922. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. First Edition. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Blue buckram binding. This is what appears to be a very early set of class notes for a course on Machine Design in 1922. It contains several hundred pages of notes, mostly mechanically reproduced, with many, many (cyanotype?) blueprints for machines tipped in. Underlining and occasional notes throughout. Cloth. George B. Haven was a Professor of Machine Design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics and Mechanic Arts. Haven was himself an MIT graduate (SB 1894). The spine is marked S. S. Perry, no doubt the student who took the course from Haven. When catalogued, OCLC noted only earlier examples at MIT, dated 1914 and 1920 and none with this date.
