Erste Ausgabe dieses seltenen ungarisch-deutschen Fachwörterbuchs der Sprtache des Bergbaues. - "Antal Pech (1822 - 1895) was Hungary`s most gifted mining engineer in the 18th century (recte 19th century). Pech`s research into the earth`s crustal movements proved to be of epochal significance" (Andrew L. Simon, Made in Hungary. Safety Harbour 1999. S. 251). - "Between 1873 and 1889 he was the director of the mine at Selmecbanya. He was the first in Hungary to use mechanical drilling when finishing the tunnel II. Jozsef. With the help of drilling machines using compressed air, in 3 and a half years they managed to build a 2326 meter long tunnel. The tunnel was handed over on the 21st October 1878. He was elected the freeman of Selmec, and in 1879 he received the Cross of the Lipot-order. Although he was invited back to his previous position in Bochum with much better conditions, he still stayed home in Hungary" (joszerencset.hu). - Mehrfach gestempelt. Etw. gebräunt.
