  • What Delays the Rise of an Industry? the Long Slow Birth of Lehigh Valley Cement
    What delays the rise of an industry? The long slow birth of Lehigh Valley cement David Prentice∗ School of Economics La Trobe University February 8, 2012 Abstract The rise of the U.S. Portland cement industry from the late 1890s, recently analyzed in Prentice (2012), was based on a series of innovations in the Lehigh Valley, PA. By 1900, the Lehigh Valley produced over 70% of cement consumed in the U.S and with its access to the large East coast markets, remained the largest cement producing district until 1970. However, these advantages seemed to be present before the 1890s but Rosendale, NY, was the main center for U.S. cement manufacturing during the 19th century. In this paper we document the long slow birth of the Lehigh Valley cement industry and, by comparison with the development of the Rosendale cement industry, analyze the reasons for its delayed rise. First, while cement raw materials were discovered almost simultaneously in both locations in the late 1820s the Rosendale industry grew much more rapidly — probably due to lower transport costs to major markets. Then, although transport cost advantages dissipated from the 1860s, Rosendale cement had built a reputation for quality that made competition by a nearby competitor difficult. It was only the combination of a new product and new technology that overcame the Rosendale cement industry. This paper makes two main contributions. First, it provides the first general analysis of the 19th century East coast cement industry — the industry which provided the materials for important public works, and urbanisation and industrialisation in general.

At the end of this very strange year, I would like to extend my wishes to all our members and their families for a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year. We hope that you are safe and have not suffered during this COVID-19 pandemic. As an organization, Lehigh Valley PSPE has had to curtail and modify our activities. Our usual monthly events with a tour and dinner were can- celled in the spring. We awarded our 2020 scholarships via a Zoom meeting instead of at a banquet. In keeping with the times, Dr. Stephen Ressler presented The Roman Aqueduct: An Inte- grated Engineered System to a joint LVPSPE and ASCE Zoom meeting on December 9. We will have an upcoming Zoom event in January featuring John Wanner, who will present his legislative update in January. In 2021 we still plan to award scholarships Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year. As with many things it is more difficult to solicit applications and contributions than in past years. 2021 is also an election year for LVPSPE; please consider serving as an officer or board member. ------------------------------------------------------- One of the most important functions of the LVPSPE is to promote STEM education and encourage students to pursue careers in engineering.

  • Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. Preliminary Report
    fc79/ LiA* 1889 oo ID in ^r in C\J r- -O'vvvt -fcoY^f- ... \S~2. (/\nvi ' S , n ISSvr ^ba "I*b3 i H, CHIEF ENGINEER'S OFFICE, MAUCH CHUNK, Aug., 1852. " \H- ! To the President and Directors of the Delaware, Lehigh, Sclmylkill A: Susquehanna Railroad Co. GENTLEMEN: , In pursuance with your instructions I have made a location and estimate for a railroad down the Valley of the Lehigh, from Mauch Chunk to a point on the eastern side of the Dela- ware River, opposite Easton. From the southern terminus of the Beaver Meadow Railroad, opposite Mauch Chunk to Parryville a distance of 6 miles the route will occupy the old Beaver Meadow grade, portions of which will have to be raised and widened and other portions entirely renewed, having been swept away by the freshets, 1841, and subsequent washings. This part of the line will require about 30,000 dollars to put it in condition to receive the super- structure, exclusive of the bridges across the Lehigh River and Mahoning Creek. From Parryville to the Gap, a distance of 6 mile*, the route crosses several sandy flats (in the aggregate about '2 miles) which vary from 1 to 15 feet below grade. The balance of the distance, 4 miles, it runs along the base of the Blue Mountains, which is very steep and abrupt, and is com- posed of red shale rock and gravel, excellent materials for the roadbed. From the Gap to the head of Swartz's dam, a distance of 11 miles, the route crosses the slate formation, which in some places presents very abrupt and irregular points, rendering it rather expensive constructing the road.
