The Gas Station in America
Author: John A. Jakle
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801869198
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
"The first architect-designed gas station - a Pittsburgh Gulf station in 1913 - was also the first to offer free road maps; the familiar Shell name and logo date from 1907, when a British mother-of-pearl importer expanded its line to include the newly discovered oil of the Dutch East Indies; the first enclosed gas stations were built only after the first enclosed cars made motoring a year-round activity - and operating a service station was no longer a "seasonal" job; the system of "octane" rating was introduced by Sun Oil as a marketing gimmick (74 for premium in 1931)." "As the number of "true" gas stations continues its steady decline - from 239,000 in 1969 to fewer than 100,000 today - the words and images of this book bear witness to an economic and cultural phenomenon that was perhaps more uniquely American than any other of this century."--Jacket.

Amazons of Bluebelle Valley
Author: R B Greenfield
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780996504614
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Amazons of Bluebelle Valley, Giantess Collector's Edition is phenomenally entertaining and massive - all twenty marvelous episodes of the original series. Included, for your viewing pleasure, in this big, wide, tall, heavy 474-page volume are all the original covers presented as art and without titles. This huge book is the perfect coffee-table gift for the man who dreams (probably secretly) of being enthusiastically loved by magnificent vigorous amazons of superlative proportions. Kind of expensive for a book -- but you wanted highest quality and a fun unique experience for your valuable time. Here it is for the price of a good theater ticket. So pull up a seat, my friend. In the specific genre of mini giantess and small man, Amazons of Bluebelle Valley stands as a grand and unique achievement. It is a celebration of the dominant Goddess, a joyous ode to voluptuous, tall, gorgeous, amorous, and sexy women in the extreme. Surprisingly, these thoroughly smashing-good-time erotic adventures comprise an unexpected spiritual journey you can be proud to witness. Thoroughly indulge yourself and be properly uplifted at the same time: now that's the win-win we've been looking for! Be 21 years old (if not 31) to read the sexually explicit content that permeates these super sexy, XXX-rated, and adult-only adventure stories. This is the Hero's adventure as never seen before, looking up at sexually impossible odds. Each Episode fulfills the promise to be dependably engaging, heartfelt, clever, humorous, and of course sexually perilous for our unlikely little protagonist, Richie Greenfield. We cast aside all unhealthy shame to rejoice and claim this particular sexual fantasy and proclivity. Step into the extraordinary life of our little avatar, our champion, humbly doing his best to be a true man as he lives with, works for, loves under, and is munificently smothered by the Amazons and Giantesses of Bluebelle Valley. "The style is exceptionally easy to read. Each bodacious romp in the juicy fantasy land moves along like a fun amusement park ride. The characters are ultimately open and generous and therefore their world, while edgy and sexually dangerous, seems kind and oddly sweet. The paradox is that so much outrageous crushing sex could be so uplifting." J.E. - San Francisco

Book Description
In this car culture of ours, what could be more American than the gas station, from the roadside pit stop in the middle of nowhere to the spit-and-polish, full service city shop? This brightly illustrated history of service stations runs the gamut from East to West, North to South, spotlighting the culture and lore of the gas-pumping garage that has kept the United States moving for a century. Whether it's the last-chance Texaco or the Sinclair dinosaur winking in the distance, the beckoning Shell, or the winged Mobil horse, it's here in all its small-town glory of compact architecture, inspired promotions, art deco pumps, and endless views of the American horizon. Author Tim Russell, one of the world's foremost collectors and historians of Petroliana, rolls out the ribbon of highway that takes us to all of those way stations of Americas motoring past.

Hydrodynamics of Pumps
Author: Christopher E. Brennen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139497278
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Hydrodynamics of Pumps is a reference for pump experts and a textbook for advanced students. It examines the fluid dynamics of liquid turbomachines, particularly pumps, focusing on special problems and design issues associated with the flow of liquid through a rotating machine. There are two characteristics of a liquid that lead to problems and cause a significantly different set of concerns than those in gas turbines. These are the potential for cavitation and the high density of liquids, which enhances the possibility of damaging, unsteady flows and forces. The book begins with an introduction to the subject, including cavitation, unsteady flows and turbomachinery, basic pump design and performance principles. Chapter topics include flow features, cavitation parameters and inception, bubble dynamics, cavitation effects on pump performance, and unsteady flows and vibration in pumps - discussed in the three final chapters. The book is richly illustrated and includes many practical examples.
