This eighth volume in the Trust's technical series is a fascinating collection of papers from Derby in the 1920s. Designed to help R-R staff better understand basic engineering, the papers are all based on testing and, as well as some marvellously dated language -'Dampers depending for their loading solely upon the orifice coefficient of a passage' -offer insight into the engineering problems of the era and the huge strides being made at the time. What might surprise is how little the fundamentals have changed and the information in this book will still be relevant to a significant quantity of classic owners.

It's very technical, packed with data and graphs rather than any pictures, but classily presented and, at that price, an engaging curiosity for more than just hardcore R-R enthusiasts.
