This copy of the “Control Valve Handbook” published by Fisher Controls Company in 1977 is a significant resource for engineers, technicians, and historians studying the evolution of industrial control systems. As a first printing of the second edition, it captures the state of the art in control valve technology during a period of rapid innovation in process automation.
The absence of a dust jacket is typical for technical reference books of this era, as they were often intended for heavy use in industrial settings. The minor wear on the hardcover and spine is a testament to its practical application over the decades, potentially bearing witness to the engineering marvels it helped bring to life.
Collectors of technical literature and industrial history will appreciate this volume’s role in disseminating knowledge that enabled more efficient and precise control of critical processes, from chemical plants to power generation facilities. The clean pages and secure binding ensure that the invaluable insights within remain accessible to future generations of engineers and scholars.
