Publisher's Synopsis
This historical document provides detailed specifications for the construction of a Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Peking (now Beijing), China. Prepared by Heister & Co Milburn, likely in the early 20th century, the text offers valuable insights into the engineering and architectural standards of the time, as well as the international business relationships between the United States and China. A fascinating glimpse into a specific project, these "Specifications" reflect broader trends in industrial development and globalization. It is of interest to historians of technology, business, and Sino-American relations.
