Over 100 years old and fascinating. Click for a larger version. I’m indebted to David Evans for another brilliant contribution.
The young David Evans has been at the old magazine dealer again, and purchased a wonderful magazine from 1913: The Locomotive, a 55 page periodical (the back cover is missing, sadly) aimed at railway engineers and owners.
David has kindly scanned the whole issue for blog readers to enjoy – just the thing for an leisurely read on an easter Sunday afternoon.
This is a remarkable publication that I never realised existed – look out for some hauntingly familiar names – including The Patent Shaft!
Thanks to David for a marathon scanning session and huge email! I’ve made the pages available individually, or the whole thing as a PDF file. This is the second such donation from David, who previously sent in the Meccano Magazine. It really is most generous and I thank him profusely.
I really enjoy this kind of thing, but please let me know what you think – comment here, or BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers!
