Peter Tatlow provides readers a concise and detailed history of
railway breakdown cranes in Britain. Although there are few railway
subjects that have not been published in detail in recent years,
breakdown cranes have not, possibly due to the technical nature of
the subject and as such the ideal person to compile such a work
would be an engineer. Respected railway author and former BR civil
engineer, Peter Tatlow, has taken the subject from its early days
through the time of the short-jib cranes to more recent history and
the introduction and use of the long-jib variant. Even so, many of
the older types continued in use well into the late twentieth
century. In what will build into a two-volume history, this volume
includes descriptive and informative text and numerous photographs
and scale plans. Illustrations of breakdown cranes in both static
and working mode complete this standard work of reference on the
subject.
