Modern Air-Brake Practice, Its Use and Abuse [Airbrake]

Pittsburg: The Dukesmith School of Air Brakes, 1908. Hardcover. Near Fine. Hardcover, full blue cloth binding with black and gilt decorations and lettering to front cover and spine, black endpapers, 7-7/8†tall, 417 pp. + 35 pp. index, in-text illustrations, folding diagrams. Slight turning in at spine ends, scuff mark to rear cover. (Side note: this was published during the 20 years when Pittsburgh dropped the final “h†in its official spelling.) A fascinating cover which keeps the feel of a traditional cover design but with the modern element of the frame around the entire front cover design being composed of pipes. (Inventory #: 201540)
