Slough: Ricardo Consulting Engineers Ltd, 1990. 0. This edition of Sir Harry Ricardo's Memoirs has been produced to mark the 75th Anniversary of the foundation of Ricardo Consulting Engineers. "Because the author felt that radical development in the early days of the internal combustion engine were of more interest than the steady progress of recent times, and because of his awareness of the influence of his own early activities on his career, the emphasis of this book is on the early days and it ends at a time before World War II. ...This is the life story of a pioneer in mechanical engineering written in a manner that reflects the zest and passionate interest that has led the author to the top of his profession." Pp.264, black & white photo portrait frontispiece + 16 further photo illustrations. Black cloth, dustwrapper has edge wear bu now has a removable clear protective wrap. Scarce. VG/VG. .

London: Loyal Society Of Friends, 21st February, 1845 . 0. Hand coloured Initiation Certificate for Thomas Walker dated 21st day of February 1845. Edn. John Bull, President; William Smart, Deputy; Geo. Challass Wickings, Secretary. Loyal United Friends: This society was founded in London, at 19 Princelet Street, Spitalfields. The Loyal United Friends wer formed by a group of Jewish immigrants, mostly from Poland. If indeed the Loyal United Friends were indeed Polish Jews, the iconography of their artefacts is remarkable for its Englishness; each individual symbol is typical of the English friendly-society tradition, as is the general layout and style. Certainly the membership of the society must have become more general very quickly, as all the named artefacts the author has seen have traditional English names. The Loyal United Friends' emblem depicts a temple on a chequered carpet with a figure of Charity ( a woman with children) in the doorway and the Dove of the Holy Spirit descending in the… Read More
