Ruston literature.

Does anyone know of any books about Ruston & Hornsby (PT).
When I was restoring my Ferguson there was so many different guides and books on the history and development of the TE20 that it gave it more of a back story. Rather than just another old machine.

Cheers,

Mike.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Those little handbooks are really useful by allowing one to look inside an engine without actually stripping it down.
I was just wondering if there was anything written on the history and development of Ruston and Hornsby.

Cheers,

Mike.

I have a few manuals but, as you say, info on history see a bit thin on the ground. Loco development seems to be covered better.

Yes there is "One Hundred Years of Good Company" by bernard Newman.

Thanks BlueCat,

I just ordered it. Looks to be a good read (It better be at that price)!

Mike.

Indeed, they never seem to be cheap, but I supose they were a limited print run back in the day.
