Notes taken by an American student on Ferdinand Jacob Redtenbacher's lectures on construction of machinery

Manuscripts

Two manuscript volumes of lecture notes written by an unidentified American student (possibly with the initials "C.H."); written in a legible hand with numerous diagrams and illustrations in the text. The lectures were held at the Polytechnikum Karlsruhe in Germany (now the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe). Volume 1, dated 1861-1864, contains lecture notes on the construction of machinery and is followed by the printed text of Tafeln zu Dr. Redtenbacher's Vortragen uber Maschinenbau in 13 nach dem Vortrag folgenden Lieferungen, 1862. Volume 2, dated 1862-1863, contains notes from the lectures of Reinhard Baumeister, Franz Keller and Hermann Sternberg; the lectures cover such subjects as bridges, cofferdams, practical arched construction, the Mt. Cenis tunnel, water works, and the process of tendering. Both volumes are damaged, with missing spines, though a portion of the spine from Volume 2 has been preserved.
