Maxim-Nordenfelt Guns and Ammunition Company 33 x 24 London 1892 Album oblong à couverture de percaline rouge, titre doré, composé de deux planches photographiques en introduction représentant l'Usine Maxim-Nordenfelt à Erith, département des canons et département des affûts, d'un texte introductif suivi de 42 planches photographiques présentant l'ensemble de la gamme de bouches à feu et affûts de Maxim-Nordenfelt, du canon de 12 c/m, à tir rapide à la mitrailleuse automatique Maxim, de 37 m/m, sur affût naval, accompagnées pour chacune d'un tableau des poids, dimensions et données balistiques, ainsi que de tables de tir (portées, angles de tir, durées du trajet, angles de chute, vitesses restantes). L'album se termine par deux planches composées de 9 photographies en gros plan du "Mécanisme des canons automatiques à tir rapide". La société Maxim-Nordenfelt tient son nom d'Hiram Steven Maxim, né aux Etats-Unis, puis établi en Angleterre, qui révolutionna dans les années 1880 le fonctionnement de la mitrailleuse. La société fusionna avec le suédois Nordenfelt en 1888, puis tomba dans l'escarcelle de l'anglais Vickers en 1897. Les canons et mitrailleuses Maxim-Nordenfelt équipèrent les armées européennes, notamment belges et allemandes. Nous joignons à cet album peu fréquent une lettre dactylographiée à en-tête de le Maxim Nordenfelt Guns and Ammunition Compagny en date du 10 février 1892, signée de S.V. Dardier [directeur technique de la firme qui évoque sa visite à Bruxelles], adressée au général belge Alexis Brialmont (1821-1903), qui donne à ce catalogue commercial un intérêt historique particulier. On sait en effet que c'est l'influent Brialmont, surnommé le "Vauban belge", qui convainquit l e roi Léopold II et les parlementaires belges de fortifier, en complément de la place d'Anvers, les forts de la Meuse. C'est Brialmont qui négocia avec Maxim-Nordenfelt l'achat de canon 57 m/m, afin d'équiper les forts de Namur et de Liège. Marques d'usure sans gravité au dos et sur la couverture, rousseurs sur les gardes, planches en très bon état.

First edition. Maxim's first announcement of his invention of the automatic machine-gun using the energy from the recoil force to eject each spent cartridge and insert the next one, Maxim came up with the single-man operated machine-gun. Earlier types of machine-guns, as the Gatling and Gardner, consisted of multiple barrels and were powered by the manual turning of a crank, which made them very heavy and caused them to require several men in order to operate them. The invention of the Maxim-mechanism allowed for a single-barrel construction, and the new machine-gun could potentially be operated by just one man, which thus led to the modern automatic machine-gun. Scarce.
