INTRODUCTION
Material is heldby the Society's Hon. Libraran, Ivor Thomas, 2 Garrick Garders, Sholhg, Southampton, Hampshire S019 9RB. Members' attertion is drawn to the following points, which should be borne in mind when consulting this libray list:-
1.As the number of books published on industrial locomotives and railways isstill relatively small, a larger than average porton of the library
material consists of manuscripts, leaflets, brochures and press cuttings. These are difficult to classify and in some cases it has not been possble to list title;, authors, publishers, etc., with the precision usually attributed to a library catalogue.
2.Where locomotive and equipment builders have traded overa number of years under a number of similar names, relevant publications
are listed under the last or current trading name of the firm.
3.In contrast, references to locomotive owners and operators, eeg. colt feries, quarries, hirers, etc., are listed under the name of the owner or
operator at the time the information was com pied.
4.Items prefixed "D" contdrawings or diagrams. Items prefixed "PO are pictorial albums, and items marked "C" are press cuttings. Items
prefixed "N" are not suitable for postal loan- see Libray Regulations.
5.Cuttings where subject matter is covered by an item in the Libray List are generally placed with that item, though their presence will not normally be recorded. Other cuttings in which the main subject is a locomotive are filed in the Section 2 and 3 cuttings items whenever possble. Those featuring a range of locomotive makers, or in which the locomotive isrot the main subject matta, are filed in the Section 6 and 11 cuttings items under the m ost speck heading.
6.Unless otherwise indicated, all items are English or have English trandation.
7.Much of the libray collection has been donatedby members, friends of members, locomotive builders and others. There are still sizeable gaps in the libray collection and the Libraian will be pleased to receive further material likely to be of interest, or of use to members.
