O.S. NOCK

HARD BACKED

AT THE TIME of the Railway Centenary, in 1925, the very eminent locomotive historian E. L. Ahrons was commissioned to write a special series of articles in The Engineer. This series, subsequently reproduced in book form, at once established itself as a classic of railway literature. Now, with the virtual end of steam traction in Great Britain and the cessation of steam locomotive building for overseas, Mr. O. S. Nock has completed the history of the British Steam Railway Locomotive over the remaining 40 years. Like Ahrons the author of this present volume is a professional engineer. and ‘onewho has had wide experience of locomotive working both in Great Britain and abroad. While covering very fully the range of new designs that have appeared during this 40 years he discusses the many locomotive trials that have taken place, and the general advance in the standard of performance. Extensive references are made to notable locomotives built for overseas. The book includes a magnicent collection of illustrations, both in reproductions of photo graphs, and in many working drawings and diagrams.
