    Description

    Please look at all the pictures - ! This is a soft cover book entitled
    Railroad Men's CATECHISM
    by Angus Sinclair
    SIZE
    :
    Approx. 4-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches.  There are 200 pages plus index and 5 pages of Angus Sinclair book advertising at the back.
    Most of this book is Questions and Answers, with some lengthier explanations, mostly for engineers and firemen; but the Preface says:
    "As we consider that all intelligent railroad men are ambitious to acquire knowledge of the principles of mechanical science so far as it relates to their business, we have added a section of Mechanical Calculations."
    CONDITION:
    The covers have taken some abuse. The binding is tight and secure but the spine is worn on the outside and some of it is gone at the bottom; the outside cover bottom edge is worn off (and some pages under it). The light color area on the outside cover apparently is some sort of moisture damage (it's bled through on the inside cover/first several inside pages).
    The inside pages are fine (except for the last few) - age darkened as expected;
    there is NO writing, rips, tears, dog ears.
