Item description from seller

[2] pp 16 [3 foldout plates] Scarce technical guide to the automatic vacuum brake which became almost universal on British rolling stock for a century from the 1870s onwards. Blue textured cloth over card wrappers, original sewing, first and last leaves detached. Three concertina-fold plates depicting the engine and railway carriages on glazed linen, semi-transparent paper. The vacuum brake seems to have been a joint effort between the London based company and the Manchester Gresham and Craven ironworks. Worldcat locates one copy only at the University of York, not in BL or elsewhere. Near Fine Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
