First Edition, First Printing. Published June, 1941. Hardcover in the publisher's original navy blue cloth with bright gilt spine lettering and distinctive blind-stamped geometric Art Deco-inspired board decoration. Quarto. 445 pages. Profusely illustrated throughout with photographs, engineering diagrams, tables, and numerous oversized folding engineering plates. Published only months before America's entry into World War II, this landmark engineering text captures structural steel design at a pivotal moment in the profession's evolution. Written by renowned structural engineer and educator Dr. Linton E. Grinter, then Vice President and Dean of the Graduate School at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the volume bridges the transition from traditional riveted construction to the rapidly emerging field of welded steel structures. Comprehensive chapters cover structural theory, riveted and welded connections, beams, girders, columns, trusses, highway bridges, industrial buildings, design specifications, and contemporary AISC and AASHO standards. Particularly impressive are the numerous large fold-out engineering drawings depicting complete bridge and roof truss designs, student drafting projects, and detailed fabrication drawings, offering an exceptional visual record of early twentieth-century American structural engineering practice. A remarkably well-preserved Near Fine copy. The publisher's original navy cloth remains exceptionally clean with bright gilt spine lettering, sharp corners, and an unusually crisp, square binding. The decorative blind-stamped linear design on both boards remains well-defined, giving the volume an understated Machine Age elegance uncommon among technical publications of the period. Internally, the pages are bright and clean with no writing, marginalia, foxing, water damage, loose pages, or repairs observed. A neatly applied white label on the front pastedown covers what was likely a previous owner's ex-libris name, while the rear pastedown bears a single black marker stripe measuring approximately 1½ inches in length. These are the only ownership-related remnants noted. All oversized fold-out engineering plates appear complete, crisp, and free of tears. An outstanding surviving example of a classic American engineering reference, equally desirable for structural engineers, engineering historians, architecture libraries, and collectors of twentieth-century industrial design. …
