Reading Company. Early Locomotive Appliances

n.p., 1930. Paperback. Good. 17 photographs of plans, drawings or photographs. Photos (in corner mounts) one to a page with versos blank. Typed captions beneath each photo. Wrapper. Oblong (33 x 26cm.). Some chipping and tears on cover edges. Light soil. Page wrinkling. An unusual assemblage; could be one of a kind or a very limited production. The latest locomotive shown is from 1897 but our guess is that this dates from the 1920s or 1930s.
