An early NASA handbook for orbital flight computation. A great compilation of analyses and equations for orbit determination. This was pristine when I received it from the Government Printing Office in 1965, or so. It has seen a lot of use over the years.
On Saturday 30 June 1951, almost 60 years ago to the day, the first ‘Bangor Civic Week’ began. This image appeared in the souvenir handbook, which I acquired recently.
The Civic Week opening ceremony at the Town Hall featured the Laganvale Silver Band with a ‘march past of youth organisations’, followed by a religious service for the lucky youths in Castle Park. Other events that day included an ‘open rowing boat fishing competition’ in Bangor bay and performances by the Laganvale, Cleland Memorial and other ‘major bands’ at the Marine Gardens.
The 1951 Civic Week came about as a result of the town council’s desire to make a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The week’s festivities included various exhibitions ranging from art and crafts to postage stamps, photographs of ‘old Bangor’ and even an exhibition of ‘public health’. Band performances were popular, including the Royal Ulster Constabulary Band, the Cleland Memorial Pipe Band, the Agnes Street (Belfast) Temperance and Laganvale Silver Bands. Sporting activities included a gala ‘Festival of Sport’ at Ward Park, a ‘children’s sports meeting’ at Clandeboye Park and special football, hockey, bowling, tennis and swimming events. The National Fire Service gave a display of ‘modern fire-fighting and rescue methods’ at the Esplanade; there was outdoor Irish dancing; a talent competition with a £5 first prize up for grabs and the 9th annual Bangor Horse & Cattle Show & Gymkhana was held in Castle Park.

A wonderful book issued by the then well-known printing house of W S Cowell based in Ipswich, Suffolk, and who were part of the mid-twentieth century 'revival' of printing that was seen in some parts of the UK printing industry. Cowell's in some ways bridged the gap between the 'fine' and craft print houses and fully commercial bulk printers - this post-war publication was designed to show the depth and breadth of their offer - showing typefaces as well as processes available. To illustrate these they reproduced sections, examples and pages from various publications using some of the finest commercial artists and illustrators.
This page, set in Baskerville, is illustrated by John Nash and is from Ruskin's "Harbours of England" and is very charming.

This would be very funny if it were not so true. I attack this philosophy each and every chance I get.

For the 'second edition' of the official handbook to the County Borough of Bootle in Lancashire the Borough Council turned to the prolific publisher of such books, Edward J. Burrow of Cheltenham. They produced the handbook noting " its civic and industrial importance, with noted on modern developments; the Docks; Public Services and Local Commercial Undertakings" and it is datable, from rates information to 1938/39.
Bootle, a county borough in its own right, was often overshadowed by its much larger neighbour the City of Liverpool. Indeed Liverpool had attempted to annexe the borough in 1903 although in the 1974 local government reorganisation Bootle was amalgamated with the somewhat distant and very different Southport further up the coast as one of the new Metropolitan Boroughs, Sefton, within Merseyside. As a Lancastrian child I was often reminded that Bootle was the county's 'forgotten' County Borough - the other you had to recall was Barrow in Furness (now in Cumbria) and it was I think the only Lancastrian County Borough that never had its own Transport Department as it's trams had been part of the Liverpool system and the buses were a mixture of that city's and the Ribble company's routes. It did of course, as a County Borough, register vehicles with the registration index of EM.
The cover is of the 'traditional' design much favoured by local authorities - suitably 'civic' and with the County Borough's coat of arms, or heraldic achievement, with the motto of "Respice, Aspice, Prospice" - 'reflect on the past, consider the present, provide for the future'.

The Charnley Forest Stone was in the past one of the best substitutes for the turkey oil Stone, this stone was or is mostly used by Jointers and Carpenters more then from Straight Razor users. Most of these Stones are not usable for Straight Razors so if you find one, you have to check out if the stones can be used for sharpening a straight razor.
