Yet — due to the activities of Joseph von Baader — a touch of the Industrial Revolution reached Bavaria at least marginally. Baader was inspired by extended sojourns in Great Britain where he had visited James Watt’s steam engines, John Wilkinson’s iron works and other industrial sites. Unlike the breeding grounds of the Industrial Revolution in England and Scotland, however, the Bavarian sites and circumstances for implementing new technology were unusual. Baader used the transformation of the baroque Nymphenburg castle park in Munich into the then fashionable English landscape garden as an opportunity to install new pumps for powerful fountain jets. The castle park also served Baader as a proving ground for the demonstration of steam engines, gas light and a new transportation system. However, decades before the advent of the industrial age in Bavaria these technologies remained showcase examples. Baader’s initiatives were all doomed to failure.","PeriodicalId":236677,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal for the History of Engineering & Technology","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131817874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distinctiveness of Hull’s telephone service has diminished in recent years with the privatization of the UK’s telecommunications networks. At one time Hull’s cream public kiosks stood out when elsewhere in Britain the red telephone box was ubiquitous but that contrast has practically disappeared now. Yet if today one visits Hull one finds that it still retains some of its old independence of spirit, of which its telephone department was once an example. Having been almost ignored for so long in such few histories of British telecommunications that have been published, Hull’s telephone undertaking now has a wellresearched and very readable book that begins to redress that imbalance. What must be remembered when considering purchase of this large and hefty softback volume (it weighs in at about 400g) is that it is not a technical nor a business history but largely a social one.","PeriodicalId":236677,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal for the History of Engineering & Technology","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122569548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
