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
