A propos de cet article

Vintage c.1953-1955 Sealocrete Technical Handbook and Product Brochure Estimated Era: Early-to-Mid 1950s (Circa 1953–1955) Publisher: Sealocrete Products Ltd., Atlantic Works, Hythe Road, London, N.W.10 Format: Softcover 32 page trade catalogue / instruction manual with textured faux-concrete styling. (8.25 inches tall approx.) A fascinating piece of mid-century British industrial history and trade ephemera. This rare technical handbook serves as an authorized architectural guide and mixing manual for builders using Sealocrete's signature concrete care line. It features the official "National Scheme for Disabled Men" emblem on the inner index, placing its production firmly in the post-WWII reconstruction era when Sealocrete was used heavily in major municipal utility, transit, and structural builds across the British Isles. Key Content and Historic Features Inside: - WWII Military History (Back Cover): Features a striking headline showcase documenting Sealocrete's role in "The Greatest Engineering Feat in British History." Details the use of thousands of gallons of their premix to waterproof the famous concrete ships for the wartime Mulberry Harbours. - Modernist Architecture and Transport History: Includes historic on-site photographs and technical breakdowns of landmark 1950s infrastructure projects, including: - Donnybrook Bus Garage (Dublin, 1952): Designed by iconic Irish architect Michael Scott and pioneering engineer Ove Arup, showcasing their world-first concrete shell roof. - Southampton Docks and Ocean Terminal (1950): Highlights British Railways cargo transit shed floors and granolithic paving’s designed by Docks Engineer J. H. Jellett. - Glasgow Subterranean Engineering: Photo documentation of high-pressure leak repairs inside the historic Finnieston Tunnel and near St Enoch. - Guildford Bus Station: Mid-century terminal paving’s designed under Borough Engineer George H. Causey. - Industrial Infrastructure: Features construction details for the Fawley Esso Refinery expansion (1949–1951) built by Foster Wheeler Ltd., the Ashford Common Filter Works built by John Mowlem & Co., and the Uxbridge U.D.C. Reservoir designed by W. L. Eves. - Interwar Civic Projects: Highlights the durability of their admixtures at the Granville Road Swimming Baths (Willesden), designed by F. Wayman Brown. - Vintage Trade Pricing and Palettes: Pages 30–31 display a fascinating pre-decimal (£ s. d.) pricing directory for bulk quantities (barrels/drums) alongside the original mid-century colour palette options for Sealantone Cement Paint (including Portland Stone, Bath Stone, and Pale Green). Condition: Some surface wear to base of title page, minor marking else in good condition. this is a lighter item, overseas shipping costs will be reduced accordingly at checkout.…
