Item description from seller

Three volumes from a very scarce series covering transport developments across Britain, from a leading builder of steam wagons. First formed in 1915 at Shrewsbury, after splittiing from Alley and Macellen, Sentinel Waggon Works dominated the steam market in the 1920s and 30s along with Foden, buidling a number of steam wagons that would later be replaced by steam trucks. The periodical offers an intriguing timeline of developements that have occured in British transport, with these three volumes focusing on 1923-1925, years of rapid growth in the industry. While the company became defunct in the 1960s, periodicals exist post 2000. Three volumes within the very scarce Shrewsbury imprint The "Sentinel" Transport News series, volumes VIII-X of the periodical, covering 1923-1925 No institutional copies are avaialable of volumes in the series bound together as books, with only a couple are articles held institutionally, both at the British Library. In the publisher's original cloth, with numerous in-text and full-page illustrations throughout each volume. In the publisher's original cloth. Externally, mostly smart, with slight fading, heavier to VIII, and the odd small mark. Slight bumping to the heads and tails of the spines, and to the extremities, and light rubbing to joints of VIII. End papers are generally bright and clean with the odd small spot, heavier browning to VIII end papers, with front free end paper stuck to pastedown, with small signs of grazing. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and mostly clean with slight age toning to leaf extremities, and marginal browning to first couple and final leaves of VIII and X. Very Good.…
