Kaleidescope of Farm Tractors (MHB Book) Tapa dura - 1978

Warne. Good/Very Good. 1978. Hard Cover. 0723228574 Dust jacket complete. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Slight waves to pages. Numerous photographs. Clean and tight. The 160 period photographs for this book were chosen to show the evolution of the farm tractor in Britain between 1900 and 1960. As it is impossible to give a complete pictorial record of so vast a subject, it was decided to use the Kaleidoscope formula. This allows a selection of random fragments of motoring history to be depicted in carefully reproduced photographs with detailed captions. Looked at as a whole, the book gives a broad outline of the main trends - the pioneer years, technical developments, American dominance, crawlers, diesels and Britain's major role as a producer since the Second World War. Looked a individually, the photographs give a fascinating insight into the changing country scene and long-forgotten methods of the past. .
