What a discovery!  This tiny book was perhaps all that stood between a seaman's agonising death and  his recovery at the hands of the (hopefully) well-informed ship's master.

Subjects include:

jaundice, lead and opium pills, scabies, broken leg, syphilis of course, and apoplexy.

The form of a death certificate is given.

178 pp. some drawings, photos, index, tables of supplies required by law, 

Fair condition, binding firm, covered in brown paper 

A rare and valuable find

Inscribed "Narrabri North" depot, issued to Mr. L. Bowers 8th August 1938 and signed by successive managers up to 1st September 1964. Perhaps the depot closed soon after.

A classic piece of engineering history, but also a revealing study of how very seriously the NSWGR took the matter of boiler safety. Penalties were imposed for the breaking-off of studs.

Many chapters of detailed text laying down test and repair methods, and 36 fine line drawings of tools and structures.  Figure 18 is a nice drawing of procedure for forming a bossed hole when fitting tubes in a copper firebox arch.  see image above.

Comparison with SHF steamers' boiler design is interesting. It seems many loco boilers had copper fireboxes.

106 pp. 

plus Appendix containing 36 line drawings, in loose leaf binder secured by screwed sockets at LHS, enabling updates to be inserted as received.

Fair condition, well-used.
