Grosvenor Works, Pimlico, 24 June 1836. A useful record of London's industrial history. John Joseph Bramah (1798-1846) was a nephew of Joseph Bramah (1748-1814), who was famous for the lock he invented and also for the hydraulic press, and was also responsible for many other inventions including a type of flush toilet, a machine for automatically printing bank notes with sequential serial numbers, the beer pump, as well as developments in civil engineering. John Joseph Bramah gathered together a huge business in railway plant at Pimlico based on his uncle's business, with the help of George and Robert Stephenson. The business eventually became Fox Henderson. "I must not appear before the Board [of the City Gas Company] in ignorance as to the time for finishing the first Tank, the delivery of the remainder of the Castings for the Second and of the time required for fixing after obtaining possession of the Ground .".

Bramah wrote a book on locks in 1785 and patented several items in the late 1700s. Watt's patent on the steam engine was in 1769. Hornblower invented a compound steam engine in 1781, but it was judged to be an infringement on Watt's patent, so he was not able to pursue it, even though it was more efficient and more powerful than Watt's. This short book is a detailed explanation of why Hornblower's work is original and why the judgement against him should be reconsidered. ** A Reply to the Monthly Reviewers; and some letters between them and the Author By A Suffolk Freeholder.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [TECHNOLOGY] [HI-SECURITY] Bramah, Joseph. A dissertation on the construction of locks : containing, first, reasons and observations, demonstrating all locks, which depend on fixed wards, to be erroneous in principle, and defective in point of security : secondly, a specification of a lock, constructed on a new and infallible principle, which, possessing all the properties essential to security, will prevent the most ruinous consequences of house robberies, and be a certain protection against thieves of all descriptions :London : Printed for the author, sold by R. Baldwin, [1785?] 8vo., 20.5 x 13 cm. [2], 46 pgs., [1] modern 3/4 calf and marbled boards, red morocco spine, peeling to head and foot of spine. Internally, lightly toned but very good with the cooper engraved plates. A Joseph Bramah's Precision lock was one of the most unbreakable locks of first half of the 19th century and the FIRST KNOWN HI-SECURITY LOCK DESIGN- a true technological marvel. The original Bramah lock had 18 different wafers, which allowed for 470 million possible permutations" [Wikipedia]. The lock was famously picked by Alfred Charles Hobbs at the Great Exhibition of 1851, sending shivers down the backs of wealthy homeowners and forcing lock manufacturers to improve their designs. The work is extremely rare in commerce and really a cornerstone, through modern eyes, of any collection focus on security.
