  • Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades
    The Quest for Autonomy and Discipline: Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades WILLIAM S. PRETZER JLHERE IS MUCH to be learned about the history of labor and technology in the book trades. There is also much to be learned/rom the history of labor and technology in the book trades. Understanding the production of printed goods and their components will not only help us understand the changing nature of demand, distribution, circulation, and impact of print, but these investigations will also increase our knowledge of general aspects of the American Industrial Revolution. Indeed, the history of the book trades should be seen as part of the larger history of American labor and technology. Much of this larger history is composed of the evolving character of conflict and conciliation in the workplace. And while the role of the plebeian classes as participants in the cul- ture of the printed word is a topic well worth exploring, the focus here is on the role of the producers of printed culture. Continuing through the third quarter of the nineteenth century, two themes stand out in this history. First is the quest for autonomy pursued by master artisans and capitalist employers in terms of their control over raw materials, product markets. This is a revised version of a paper presented at a needs-and-opportunities conference on the history of the book in American culture held at the American Antiquarian Society, November 1-3, 1984. I am grateful to Rollo G. Silver and Steven Rosswurm for their comments and to Kevin S. Baldwin for his research assistance.

    Robotic Origami Folding Devin Balkcom CMU-RI-TR-04-43 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Robotics. The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 August, 2004 Committee Matthew T. Mason (Chair) James J. Kuffner Doug L. James Jeffrey C. Trinkle (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Copyright 2004 by Devin Balkcom. All rights reserved. Abstract Origami, the human art of paper sculpture, is a fresh challenge for the field of robotic manipulation, and provides a concrete example for many difficult and gen- eral manipulation problems. This thesis will present some initial results, including the world’s first origami-folding robot, some new theorems about foldability, defi- nition of a simple class of origami for which I have designed a complete automatic planner, analysis of the kinematics of more complicated folds, and some observa- tions about the configuration spaces of compound spherical closed chains.

AT rn CENTS PER COPY Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis PREFACE In 1922 the International Joint Conference Council of the Print­ ing Industry planned an investigation of the hygiene of the printing trades. The general supervision and control of the investigation was placed by the Joint Council in the hands of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman. The Bureau of Labor Statistics was, from the start, called into these conferences and subsequently agreed to do a definitely outlined part of the work involved in the general survey. Under the agree­ ment the Bureau of Labor Statistics was to conduct a branch of the work involving the employment of at least one field investigator. Mr. Swen Kj aer was assigned to this field work. The schedules and questionnaires had of course been jointly agreed upon by Doctor Hoffman and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Special Agent Kjaer began his field work in October, 1922, completing it early in 1924. The present bulletin is the beginning of the publication, of the re­ sults of the joint survey of the hygiene of the printing trades made by the International Joint Conference Council of the Printing In­ dustry and the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation.

The entire collection represents but a small part of all the models made in the nineteenth century, or even of all that survive today. Until 1880, the U.S. Patent Office required most inventors to submit a model with their application for patent protection. The Patent Office thus became the keeper of a huge collection, one that suffered several catastrophes over the years. In 1836 a fire at Blodgett's Hotel, where the Patent Office was housed, destroyed all existing models—about 10,000 items—as well as the records of some specifications. After the fire new patents, hitherto unnumbered, were numbered in a consecutive series. In 1840 an effort was made to restore models and specifications lost in the fire. Some 2845 were restored (and numbered in a newX... series), but there were gaps diat could not be filled and remain blank to this day.

  • The Printer's Dictionary of Technical Terms
    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. http://books.google.com r The Printer's Dictionary of Technical Terms A Handbook of Definitions and Information about Processes of Printing With a brief Glossary of Terms used in Book Binding Compiled by A. A. Stewart Instructor in the School of Printing North End Union Boston, Massachusetts Published by the School of Printing North End Union 1912 Copyright, 1912, by Alexander A. Stewart . Foreword npHE following pages have been in course of preparation for several years. Originally some of the matter was intended solely as "copy" for practice in type-setting by pupils in the School of Printing; later it was arranged, roughly, into the form of a brief glossary, and then, as its value for practice-work, instruction, and general trade infor mation became apparent, it was gradually put into the form in which it now appears. The book is the product of some seventy-five or eighty young printers, who have left on its pages the impress of their first struggles to attain a mastery of their chosen vocation. Every page represents hours of patient, earnest work on the part of pupils who were receiving their first lessons in putting hastily prepared copy into typographic form.
