A first edition of this biography of Sir William Fairbairn, partially written by himself, and completed and edited by William Pole. The first edition of this uncommon work in the publisher's original cloth binding. Sir William Fairbairn (1789-1874) was a Scottish civil engineer, structural engineer and shipbuilder. It was Fairbairn who conceived the idea of a box girder to cross the Menai Strait. He was also one of the first engineers to investigate into the failures of structures, including the collapse of textile mills and boiler explosions, and into metal fatigue in particular. In 1854 he became the third president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. In this volume, written partially by himself and completed and edited by William Pole, is an account of the life of Sir William Fairbairn. 44 pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally smart, though faded and marked to the spine, with light shelf wear to the extremities and to the head of the spine. Both hinges are starting but are holding firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for the odd spot to the first and last few pages. Very Good. book.
