The recently available book 'Rule of Thumb' by David Curwen is ostensibly an autobiography, but rather more a ghost-written biography of an interesting
93yr old engineer who is well known in many fields . He is currently making casting patterns for a rare small-power engine and is building a Hartop replica - when not servicing the cyl head of his Startomatic ready for the winter. Plenty to keep the engineman interested especially those keen on lighting plants and railway locos.The price is £12-50 plus £1-00 p&p., obtainable by post direct from the website
