						| This hardback book is the third in a 
						series covering the excavators made in the Ruston 
						Bucyrus factory in 
						Lincoln in the UK.  It covers the story of Ruston 
						Bucyrus excavators in the period following the end of 
						the second world war up to 1970. 
 The contents are largely organised along the lines of 
						individual excavator models with separate sections 
						covering the 22, 30, 38, 54 and 100 series RB models.  
						There are also interesting sections on special 
						applications and the carriers used, and the short lived 
						tower crane line.  There is plenty of coverage of 
						Ruston Bucyrus hydraulic excavators too.  Trailing 
						through the narrative is some history of the company 
						including the people and the things that were happening 
						in the company.
 
 The author has provided an authoritative text which 
						draws on his experience with the company.  This has 
						also enabled it to contain an exceptional collection of 
						hundreds of photographs including some superb diagrams.
 
 The quality of the book is high with good quality 
						paper.
 
 Any reader interested in excavators or the Ruston 
						Bucyrus company will find a great 
						deal in this book.  The photos alone make it 
						worthwhile and there is some interesting history 
						discussed.  It is easy to highly recommend this 
						book.
