Dated 15 April 1954 to Aramco Chair F.A. Davies' Foreword. Covers very good, rubbed and worn along the spine. Interiors near fine. This significant edition opens b…y marking the passing of King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud on 9 Nov 1953, which "all employees of the Company joined in mourning". There is also a poem in Arabic to the centre pages. Davies is encouraged by King Saud's "keen interest" in the company, which led it to increase wages for all Saudi employees by 12-20% effective from 1 Jan 1954, and improve benefits in education, housing, food, clothing and vacations. Davies offers "renewed assurance" to the new King and the Saudi people that Aramco "will continue the development of the oil resources of the Kingdom along sound engineering and business principles, and in a manner that will contribute to the best interests of all concerned" (pp2-3). The report also celebrates 20 years of growth and achievement with an article describing significant events since signing the Concession in 1933. The main chapters cover oil operations (exploration, drilling, producing, oil and gas, plants and pipeline, refining, marketing, engineering, transport etc); people (wages, housing, recreation, safety, The Oil Caravan magazine, employees with long service, thrift plans, manpower); health; industrial training; and community, industrial and agricultural development (new towns, and the Railway the management and supervision of which Aramco transferred to the Government on 1 Jan 1953). Detailed full-page colour maps illustrate exploration, oil fields and installations, the route from field storage to Dammam, Bahrain and beyond, and marketing via bulk plants and retail dealers. The photos include royal portraits, and show Saudi people, landscapes, and diverse operations.

Original brick red wraps with ornate Arabic script 22x28cm. iv, 37, (2), 37, iv pp English and Arabic sections, illustrated in colour and b/w with photos, maps and charts throughout. Wraps very good, rubbed along the edges, interiors near fine. Please note that the text block is loose in the wraps… as the glue has dried out. Dated 15 April 1959 to the transmittal letter by Aramco President Norman Hardy and Chair F.A. Davies. Hardy and Davies report on slightly increased production with demand expected to rise, with major projects including the offshore Safaniya and Manifa Fields, Khurai, and Fazran, with additions to the tanker terminal at Ras Tanura. Pay and benefits improved for Saudi workers: the working week reduced to 42 hours allowing for more leisure time. The Riyal payroll (for local staff) increased. And benefits amounted to almost as much as pay. Of Aramco's 17,171 employees, 70% were Saudi Arabs, who advanced into higher jobs previously held by foreign employees. The main chapters cover oil operations; people of Aramco; training; health; and the local economy (contract work, and agriculture).

Printed in Beirut by the Catholic Press. 159pp. Good, tanned and creased to the covers, with pencil annotations to some pages. Dated 1956 from the printer's code. This is the self-contained middle part of a course that began with "Basic Arabic" and ended… with "Conversational Arabic". Between them, they mark a major advance in Aramco's Arabic language training from the pocket sized phrasebooks introduced in the mid-1940s to early 1950s. The course was first prepared by Aramco's Training Department for its Foreign Service Training Center located at Riverhead, Long Island before moving to Sidon in Lebanon. It was "subjected to the test of use, revised and improved over a period of several years" and accompanied in the classroom by records (Introduction). Building on the "Basic Arabic" (which introduced new employees to everyday spoken Gulf Arabic) this contains 12 themed Units for greetings and general phrases; on the job and asking directions; an interview; in the dining hall; a new employee; in the market; truck breakdown and car trouble; laying a water pipe (2 Units); the garage; a new houseboy; and seeing Dhahran. The latter takes in a tour of the machine shop, club house, movie theatre, swimming pool and dance hall, the Saudi camp (with its dorms, barastis and tents), the mosque, and oil stabiliser. Appendices cover the use of Arabic in training Saudi employees, and using a fire extinguisher. Students are directed from here to "Conversational Arabic", or "Basic Arabic" if not done already.

These are undated, but the Catholic Press printer's code states 1956. Between them, they mark a major advance in Aramco's Arabic language training from the pocket sized phrasebooks introduced in the mid-1940s to early 1950s. (Alongside this were separate works on colloquial, newspaper, and basic written Arabic). This course was first prepared by Aramco's Training Department for its Foreign Service Training Center located at Riverhead, Long Island before moving to Sidon. It was "subjected to the test of use, revised and improved over a period of several years", and accompanied in the classroom by records (Spoken Arabic Introduction). BASIC ARABIC: This introduces new employees to spoken Gulf Arabic: "It is the basis of the intensive Arabic course offered at Aramco's Sidon Training Center in Lebanon. Others who have had a different introduction to Arabic will find it useful because of its coverage of typical everyday situations". It contains 50 Units to be practiced as live dialogue for maximum effect (Introduction). These are untitled but to give a couple of examples they relate to heading into town to see a film (Unit 6), a discussion of the day's news referencing Aramco's literacy teaching to local staff (Unit 17), the whereabouts and wellbeing of Abdulla (Unit 18), locating a driver and readying a car for a tour of the pipeline (Unit 21), signing in and out at the Main Gate (Unit 26), organising a crew to work on cylinders (Unit 42), repairing a ship's engine at the pier (Unit 43), etc. Also included is a Grammar, Vocabulary, Adjectives, and colours. Once mastered, students are urged to progress to "Spoken Arabic". SPOKEN ARABIC: This contains 12 themed Units for greetings and general phrases; on the job and asking directions; an interview; in the dining hall; a new employee; in the market; truck breakdown and car trouble; laying a water pipe (2 Units); the garage; a new houseboy; and seeing Dhahran. The latter takes in a tour of the machine shop, club house, movie theatre, swimming pool and dance hall, the Saudi camp (with its dorms, barastis and tents), the mosque, and oil stabiliser. Appendices cover the use of Arabic in training Saudi employees, and using a fire extinguisher. Students are directed from here to "Conversational Arabic", or "Basic Arabic" if not done already. CONVERSATIONAL ARABIC: In 2 parts this opens with 10 common everyday Conversations: "Only by imitating minutely the pronunciation, intonation and stress patterns of a native speaker can these conversations come alive and be meaningful". The second and larger part focuses on Constructions "that illustrate grammar and are far more useful than any set of grammatical rules. If you have worked carefully through the grammatical sketches in Basic Arabic and Spoken Arabic you will find that study of the Constructions will rapidly broaden your insight into the grammar of spoken Arabic". This was the most advanced and final part with students encouraged from here to "Try out your Arabic every chance you get. And if your opportunities aren't frequent enough, you will have to go out of your way to make new opportunities" (Introduction).

In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Three student workbooks (of 12) in matching black and white titled brown wraps 18x26cm. viii, 228pp; viii, 208pp; (1), vii, 155pp + 3 unindexed full page maps. Covers good to very good, interiors very good to near fine. Extremely rare with Worldcat listing 2 locations (OCLC 13974562: Brigham Young… University; University of Texas). These are from Aramco's English language training programme introduced during 1960-62 for local employees native in the colloquial Arabic of Eastern Saudi Arabia. The Series consisted of 12 books, one per trimester for 4 years. As with its Arabic language training for ex-pat employees (1956), it draws thematically on "the overall work of Aramco, and the background of science and technology, basic to the oil industry". It also taps into key Saudi locations (Riyadh, Hofuf, Dhahran, Ras Tanura etc), as well as Arab and Islamic history and culture. Vocabulary was based on the "Aramco English Series Word List" of 2,375 words compiled from 3 different word frequency counts (Thorndike et al, Faucett-Maki, WPA), other words "very common in the Aramco work situation" (eg, welder, carpenter, driver, rig), and words necessary to deal with specific subjects such as geography (eg, continent, peninsula, Asia). The grammar drew on C.C. Fries "The Structure of English" (1952), and pronunciation on Kenyon and Knott's "Pronouncing Dictionary of American English" (1953). Although this is a partial set, it gives a decent idea of the method, and of the progression from the earliest to last lessons. Year 1 is based on 20 lessons including 4 reviews per trimester. The themes in Trimester 1B are: What do you do?; What does he do?; Goings and comings; You and me; What is he doing?; In class; Telling time; Was and were; My family; At home; My room; Usually, never, always; The and A; All, some, none; and Many and much. Those in Trimester 1C: Questions; Negatives; An English test; Going home; At work; In the carpenter shop; Jobs and people; Not and No; Vacations; Going away; Buying things; Commands and requests; Going to the clinic; What do we want to buy?; On the job; and Can and Could; with supplements for the library, market, and clinic. The exercises reference familiar locations and places. Trimester 4A presents geography inspired by "The Story of Exploration". Lessons in writing, adjective formation and infinitives are themed on the Phoenicians, Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Captain Cook, and Antarctic exploration with 3 supporting route maps. Each volume ends with the relevant Word List.
