A propos de cet article

Folio. Ca. 400 typed and ms. pp. With 80 (folding) plans and diagrams, several very large (ca. 740 x 1730 mm). 2 half cloth volumes, one paperback, the remaining records stapled and/or loosely inserted in the original Government of Kuwait, Student Library, or blank paper sleeves. The "golden age" of Kuwait in diagrams: Official records of the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Gas. The growing prosperity of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait in the 1950s and early 1960s is here reflected in the construction of a reliable power grid and water supply. A considerable archive including various schematic diagrams of power stations, the entire Kuwait 11 kv and 33 kv network systems, the HT overhead line at Sulabiyah Wells, and several impressive large charts of water and electricity production which perhaps best illustrate the high standard of living enjoyed by Kuwait residents: a tenfold increase from 16 to 160 million gallons in the monthly water production from 1953 to 1961, and an increase in the production of electricity from 1,000,000 units generated in 1952 to more than 30,000,000 units by 1960 speak for themselves. - Further documents include the 1961 annual report of the Kuwait Ministry of Electricity, Water and Gas, a number of documents on the installation, operation, and maintenance of metalclad switchgear for tenderers, 132 kv line designs, hand-drawn plans and sketches for the event of local blackouts, switchboard diagrams, lists of power transformers installed in sub-stations all over Kuwait, distribution of wiring and cables, protection relay settings, turbine start-up diagrams, and test reports signed by A. M. S. Hamdan, the distribution engineer. - A set of the collector Hussein Gamgoum's correspondence with booksellers and libraries, renewing his subscriptions and ordering various works on engineering and physics, is also included. A rare trove of material, unique in its extent. - Paper sleeves somewhat worn and creased. Some charts with small marginal tears. - From the collection of the engineer Hussein Gamgoum, a resident of Cairo and later of Kuwait (his ms. ownership to metalclad switchgear tender documents).…

Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.…
