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.
