Original Green Cloth Boards. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. c.1990. iv, 120pp. B&W photos and illustrations throughout. "This book is not about the expertise of golfers or the wonderful golfing performances seen at West Linton over the last one hundred years. Instead we decided that the place, the people and the interesting events that have taken place over the last century are what matter. Without a doubt there are many amusing stories concerning events at the Club which we have not been able to track down and which have been lost in the mists of time. We have, however, been extremely fortunate to have had at our disposal a complete set of minutes of Club meetings from the very fist meeting on 7 June 1890. Our task would have been much more difficult without access to such valuable information." There is a panel to the centre of the upper board where there may or may not once have been an illustration or title label. Excellent condition with no inscriptions.…

Wraps. Condition: Good. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 10.75 Inches. [4], 40 pages. Illustrated front cover. Illustrations. Notes. Cover has some wear and soiling. This appears to be an original publication, timed for the 50th Anniversary Commemoration of WWII, rather than a reprint of a work produced earlier. Mr. Thomas J. Slattery, a command historian for the United States Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command at Rock Island Arsenal has woven an interesting narrative about the significance of Rock Island Arsenal in providing the products of war which served so importantly in the defeat of Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan. In his narrative, Mr. Slattery combines a chronology of what took place diplomatically, politically, and militarily throughout the world during the period between World War I and the beginning of World War II, and their effect upon the mission and the workforce at Rock Island Arsenal. Mr. Slattery reveals that the Arsenal's missions became greatly expanded as the United states moved inextricably towards involved in the Second World War, and by 7 December 1941, the day that Pearl Harbor was bombed, Rock Island Arsenal was already busy producing products for its allies and the United States. The rest of the narrative describes how the diversified workforce marshalled its resources during the period from 1941 to the end of the war to become an impressive arsenal in regards to its workforce, diversity of products, and its output. Thanks in large measure to Mr. Slattery's work, the reader will obtain a look at what some called, "the arsenal of democracy". The Rock Island Arsenal comprises 946 acres, located on Arsenal Island, originally known as Rock Island, on the Mississippi River between the cities of Davenport, Iowa, and Rock Island, Illinois. It lies within the state of Illinois. Rock Island was previously used as the summer camp site for Sauk Native Americans, and the dispute over tribal ownership led to the Black Hawk War of 1832, after the primary leader of the Sauk, Black Hawk. It is now home of First Army headquarters, and the US Army's Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing. The island was originally established as a government site in 1816, with the building of Fort Armstrong. It is now the largest government-owned weapons manufacturing arsenal in the United States. It has manufactured military equipment and ordnance since the 1880s. In 1919-1920 one hundred of the Anglo-American or Liberty Mark VIII tanks were manufactured, although too late for World War I. It is designated as a National Historic Landmark. Established as both an arsenal and a center for the manufacture of leather accoutrements and field gear, today it provides manufacturing, logistics, and base support services for the Armed Forces. The Arsenal is the only active U.S. Army foundry, and manufactures ordnance and equipment, including artillery, gun mounts, recoil mechanisms, small arms, aircraft weapons sub-systems, grenade launchers, weapons simulators, and a host of associated components. Some of the Arsenal's most successful products include the M198 and M119 towed howitzers, and the M1A1 gun mount. About 250 military personnel and 6,000 civilians work there. The Rock Island Arsenal Museum was established on July 4, 1905. It is the second-oldest US Army Museum in the US after the West Point Museum. The museum has been closed twice, during World War I and World War II, to provide more space for manufacturing facilities. Exhibits interpret the history of Rock Island Arsenal and the Union prison camp during the American Civil War, and the site's role as a military industrial facility. The museum contains the second-largest collection of small arms weapons in the U.S. Army, and an outdoor vehicle display.
