Out-of-print and Antiquarian books in Boulder Colorado
Specifications No. 519:
Many years ago we discovered this book at the Rocky Mountain Book Fair, and bought it:
Specifications, Schedule, and Drawings. Hoover Dam, Power Plant and Appurtenant Works. Boulder Canyon Project. Arizona-California-Nevada. Washington, D.C.: United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. December 17, 1930. Aside from 94 pages of descriptive text, blank bidding forms and graph paper, it consisted of many folding plans and elevations of what would become one of the most famous and largest engineering projects in the world. Like its contemporary the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam is a symbol of Modern monumental engineering and design in America.
The plans and elevations are in perfect condition, and we have made high-resolution scans that you can buy and download as .tif files. You can print them at original size, but they can also be enlarged to cover a big wall.
Clicking on the titles below will provide more information, and you can buy and download them as well if you wish.
