Edinburgh and Croton (Aqueduct) Water Supply, 1813-1843, 1977-1998, and undated (Includes facsimiles)

Kemp and his student, Ed Winant, studied early hydraulic systems in Edinburgh, Scotland. They also studied the Old Croton Aqueduct in New York City, New York. Kemp and Winant attempted to publish articles based on their work, and eventually published “John Jervis and the Hydraulic Design of the Old Croton Aqueduct” in the journal Canal History and Technology Proceedings and “Edinburgh's First Water Supply: The Comiston Aqueduct, 1675-1721” in the journal Civil Engineer International . The box contains materials from their research and publication process, as well as materials Winant prepared before he defended his dissertation, “The Hydraulics Revolution: Science and Technical Design of Urban Water Supply in the Enlightenment.” The box includes correspondence, drafts of his defense, editorial comments, newsletters, and charts. The box also includes facsimiles of the following: drawings, maps, engineering drawings, books, and book excerpts. Subjects include aqueducts; waterworks in Edinburgh, Scotland; the Old Croton Aqueduct in New York City, New York; the Comiston Aqueduct in Edinburgh, Scotland; hydraulic systems; Enlightenment-era urban water supply systems; European engineers; John B. Jervis; and J.T. Desaguliers. The following oversize items were moved to Box 344: two engineering drawings (1992).
