Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey into the world of town gas, a vital component of urban life in the early 20th century. It delves into the history of the industry, from its humble beginnings in the early 1800s to its rapid expansion and the emergence of competition among gas companies. The author, a seasoned engineer himself, meticulously explores the technical aspects of gas manufacture, detailing the processes of coal carbonization, gas purification, and the development of innovative gas-lighting technologies. The book provides a captivating account of the pivotal role played by Samuel Clegg, a visionary engineer whose ingenuity and determination transformed the fledgling gas industry into a thriving enterprise. It also examines the challenges and triumphs of the industry, including the transition from gas sold by rental to gas sold by measure, and the eventual shift from competitive markets to a more regulated system. This insightful exploration not only illuminates the technical and economic aspects of town gas production and distribution, but also sheds light on the evolving relationship between industry and society. It reveals how the development of new technologies, such as the incandescent gas light, reshaped consumer demands and influenced the course of urban life. Ultimately, the book provides a detailed and engaging account of a vital industry that powered the modern world and continues to fascinate those who are interested in the history of technology and its impact on society.
