The German MG 34 and MG 42 Machine Guns - Luc Guillou - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The German MG 34 and MG 42 Machine Guns - Luc Guillou - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The German MG (Maschinengewehr) 34, along with the later-war MG 42, was a recoil-operated, air-cooled machine gun and is considered the world’s first general-purpose machine gun. Considered the most advanced machine gun in the world at the time, its ease of mobility and high rate of fire—900 rounds per minute—made it ideal both for infantry and antiaircraft use. First entering service during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, it remained in Wehrmacht service through the end of WWII in 1945, along with its updated model, the MG 42. This illustrated book presents the design, manufacturing, and development both of the MG 34 and MG 42, from its acceptance by the German military through production and combat use from 1936 to 1945. Includes close-up views of markings and other details, as well as a breakdown of the weapon. Accessories such as ammunition and gun mounts are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen combat-related uniform and equipment items.

Peep-Machine Pin-Ups - Don Preziosi - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Machines called Mutoscopes offered quick shows for a penny from 1895 until as late as the 1970s, flipping cards to create the impression of a "moving picture." Associated with amusement piers and parks, and men''s restrooms, these machines were notorious as proprietors of cheap peeps. During the 1940s, the International Mutoscope Reel Company began to manufacture coin-operated vending machines that served up 5-1/4" x 3-1/4"cards for collectors, usually of "pin-up" material. These cards are widely collected today, and a wonderful source of inspiring low-brow artwork. This comprehensive collection of more than 250 images includes work by noted artists Zoe Mozert, Earl Moran, and Gil Elvgren, among many other signed and unsigned, talented portrayors of the female form.

The Machinist Sculptor - Chris Bathgate - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Machinist Sculptor - Chris Bathgate - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Explore machine work as a fine craft through the lens of Chris Bathgate’s pioneering sculpture techniques. By all rights, machining should have been embraced by artists long ago. During the 20th century, many industrial crafts were developed into studio art mediums. For a long time, however, the crafts movement rejected many forms of automation. Seen as inexpressive, expensive, and inaccessible, machine tools would be largely relegated to their industrial role until the first few years of the 2000s. Artist Chris Bathgate’s story brings visibility to the craft of modern machine work. • Bathgate utilizes handmade tools; milling, drilling, and turning machines; CNC (computerized numerical controlled) machines; and more to form precisely crafted complex sculptures that capture the imagination and pose exciting questions about how the worlds of technology and craft are intersecting now more than ever. He combines a variety of metals—including steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, and more—to create his sculptures, sometimes adding wood and other materials. • His work illustrates that inspiration often is born out of the need to solve and overcome technical challenges. • Some of his sculptures take the form of small mechanical objects, while others reflect a more traditional approach to sculpture. • Detailed schematic blueprints, CAD renderings, and in-process "how it’s made" images throughout the book augment his stunning finished pieces and the exciting backstory of how the author has developed this medium. This book explores the history and craft of machine work through the lens of Bathgate’s pioneering sculptures, and it serves as a contemporary reflection on the modern state of craft.

Art Deco Aluminum - Paula Ockner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1934 Alcoa introduced a revolutionary new line of aluminum alloy giftware and domestic items designed by American pioneer industrial designer Lurelle Guild. Called Kensington Ware, these relatively expensive, slick, machine-age objects were in an unmistakenly Art Deco style with cast brass accents. They represent an important American contribution to modern design and decorative arts. The Kensington plant ceased production around 1970, and collectors have recently been scooping up these compelling objects in the antique and collectible markets. This is the first book to tell the Kensington story and identify, value, and illustrate the aluminum in 375 color, vintage, and black-and-white illustrations. It is a must for anyone interested in aluminum, Art Deco, and the machine-age in America.
