Maintenance and repair information
It has often been said that the world was horse-drawn before the
introduction of electric tramways. So, the establishment of a new
and relatively cheap mode of transport was a revelation to many
people enabling them to travel, work and play beyond their
immediate surroundings. The opening of a tramway route captured
everyone's imagination, ensuring kids, and adults (and the
occasional dog) would turn out to witness the event, always
orchestrated by groups of local civic dignitaries. This book via
breathtaking, pin sharp pictures - taken from rare postcards and
exclusive glass plate negatives - lavishly illustrates the early
years of tramways across Yorkshire, from Sheffield to Hull, from
Doncaster to Keighley and areas in-between including, Rotherham,
Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield and Leeds. The onlooker today,
besides being at one with the enthralled locals, celebrating their
new tramway systems, will not resist being enchanted by the
everyday street scenes and people going about their daily lives,
examples of which abound page after page in this glimpse into a
long-forgotten age.
The last three decades of the twentieth century saw dramatic
changes in the bus industry with deregulation of bus services
nationally in October 1986 in the provincial areas. Visually London
seemed to stay the same with the buses still operating in the
customary red liveries which all cherished from childhood. This
book sets out to show how the vehicles moved forward from the
traditional layout of rear platform and open half cab to the
introduction of one man buses with their front entrances. The
effects of deregulation are shown with dynamic colour schemes
especially with the Bexleybus blue and cream colour scheme. With
the passing of years we progress to the now familiar single deck
buses, and also cover various other transport experiments.
The story of Jensen favouring American V8 power began during the
1930s, with the building of their first prototype car. Although
this pre-war period was short-lived, this would be the start of
what was to eventually become one of the company's main trademarks
- the V8 engine. This new book examines the C-V8, Interceptor and
FF models as well as Jensen's use of Chrysler, Ford and General
Motors engines. The history, design, development and production of
these cars is covered and the book is illustrated with 300 colour
photographs.
The Land Rover was a huge success for its makers right from the
start in 1948, when it was introduced as a product to keep the
Rover factories busy in the difficult economic times that followed
the Second World War. Developed with a speed that was remarkable
even for the relatively unsophisticated vehicles of those days, it
was regularly updated in both major and minor ways over the next
five years as improvements be-came necessary or suggested
themselves. It is the minutiae of those improvements - some
intended to simplify build procedures and others to give the
customers a better product - that lie at the heart of this book.
For owners and enthusiasts who aim to restore an 80-inch model to
its original, ex-factory specification, its pages aim to demystify
the huge succession of changes that were made on the assembly
lines, wherever possible not only recording what happened but also
why. With the aid of Simon Clay's photography of some superb
examples of the marque, correct details are shown on both complete
vehicles and on some under restoration to give the dedicated
enthusiast the knowledge needed for an accurate and satisfying
restoration. In this book, enthusiast and leading Land Rover
historian James Taylor is your guide to the multiple changes in
specification that affected the 80-inch Land Rovers built between
1948 and 1953 and continue to excite debate among restorers today.

Jaguar's series of XK sports cars used the remarkable twin overhead
camshaft engine that was first exposed to the public in 1948 in the
new XK120 two-seater, which took the motoring world by storm. For
1954 the XK120 was replaced by the mildly restyled XK140 model,
with an increase in power, optional overdrive and a roomier
cockpit. It was replaced in 1957 by the XK150. With disc brakes on
all wheels, the option of engines up to 265bhp and a completely new
body, the XK150 was an extremely competent performance car with
more than a touch of glamour. This book opens with an exposition of
the background to the introduction of the XK140, a key model
because the XK120 was such a hard act to follow. Then comes a full
technical analysis of the new car, covering all aspects of the
chassis, running gear, engine and transmission. This sets the scene
for the coverage of the XK150. Major production changes during the
evolution of the two models are recorded, and production and sales
worldwide are analyzed in depth. The author also provides
information on prototypes and special-bodied cars.

Traffic congestion is a growing problem and unless policy makers
and transportation officials make some dramatic changes, it will
rise to unacceptable levels by 2030. In, Sam Staley and Adrian
Moore explain the inefficient systems and politics that cause this
escalating epidemic, presenting commonsense, high-tech solutions
that will ease congestion and its troubling consequences. The book
considers transportation policy through the intersection of four
crucial and timely elements: global, economic, and cultural
competitiveness; urban development trends; demographics; and
transportation engineering and design. It sets goals for congestion
reduction, outlines performance standards that increase
transparency, calls for the redesign of the regional transportation
network, and describes sufficient investment in technology.

An Alternative History of Bicycles and Motorcycles: Two-Wheeled
Transportation and Material Culture accounts for the
nineteenth-century creation and development of two-wheeled
vehicles, both human-powered and motorized. Specifically, the book
focuses on the period from 1885 (which saw the appearance,
simultaneously, of the Safety bicycle and the Einspur, the first
motorcycle) to 1920, while exploring implications for later
bicycling and motorcycling. We argue that invention of these
vehicles, rather than the product of gifted individuals, should be
seen as the consequence of a number of historical, economic,
cultural and political forces that intersect so unpredictably that
the notion of a genius inventor is reductive. The common
evolutionary model of development from the bicycle to the
motorcycle oversimplifies both the technology and its origins.
Stripping the vehicles of all their material and cultural
associations, such a model fails to advance our understanding of
the devices, their creators, and their riders. Taking a
contemporary vehicle and tracing its lineage creates a false sense
of evolutionary necessity in its creation, and fails to account for
the many possible developmental paths that were, for whatever
reason, abandoned. By contrast, our book adopts a material culture
approach, a form of inquiry that stresses the connections between
artifacts and social relations. We consider not simply the bicycle
and motorcycle as material objects but focus also on the complex
socio-political and economic convergences that produced the
materials, materials that in turn themselves shaped the vehicles'
appearance, function, and adoption by riders.
Inspired by the success of the Ford Mustang "pony car" in the USA,
Ford UK launched the Capri - "The Car You Always Promised Yourself"
in 1969 and it was an instant hit, with its long bonnet, sleek 2+2
coupe body, and low stance. For 1974 Ford launched the Capri II,
with a new smooth body style, engines ranging from 1300 to 3000cc,
and a plush Ghia version of the 3-litre model. In 1978 came the
Capri Mk3 with yet more refinement and a four-headlamp nose. These
classic Fords now have an almost fanatical following, supported by
some very active owner's clubs. Good examples are eagerly sought,
and with prices rising restoration has become a very viable
proposition. An astonishing number of variants of the Capri Mk2 and
Mk3 were offered, so they really need to be identified. This book,
companion to our 2017 title Factory-Original Ford Capri Mk I, does
the job, taking the reader right through the production period and
pinning down the correct factory specifications, equipment and
finishes across the range. This information is backed up by nearly
300 specially commissioned colour photographs of outstanding
examples of the cars.
MUSTANG - Considered by many to be the best fighter aircraft of the
Second World War.\nThis new book by aviation historian Larry Davis
begins with Mustang production in early 1941 with the British Air
Purchasing Committee order fro 320 aircraft in August 1940 with the
first Mustang I, RAF serial AG 345, rolling off the Inglewood,
California assembly line on 16 April 1941. The later P-51D is
considered by many to be the ultimate Mustang and is covered here
in its variety of markings and warfronts. The P-51H lightweight and
the P-82 Twin Mustang are also covered in rare photos including
color.
