FIRST EDITION. Published to mark the jubilee of the Nobel factory in St. Petersburg which formed an essential part of the Nobel success story; the steam engines, containers, pump machinery and accessories developed there enabled the faster extraction, and pipeline and tanker transport which made Branobel the largest oil company in Russia. WorldCat records just three copies outside of Russia -- none in the UK.
