Steam Rollers in Preservation - Malcolm Batten - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Steam Rollers in Preservation - Malcolm Batten - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The term ‘steam roller’ has become part of the English language, rather like Biro or Hoover. Steam rollers themselves began to be made during the 1860s. It was Thomas Aveling who perfected the most common three-point design with a wide steerable roll at the front and a roll either side at the rear. His company, Aveling & Porter, became the largest manufacturer of steam rollers, although most other traction-engine builders also produced designs, some quite innovative.Steam rollers were the last type of steam-powered road vehicle in general use, some remaining in service until the mid-1960s. Consequently, many hundreds have survived into preservation and can regularly be seen at rallies and other events.This book illustrates many of the examples from different makers that can be seen in Britain and details their history into preservation.

Rotherham United - Paul Rickett - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Rotherham United - Paul Rickett - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Less than a decade ago, a warlock sat in a cloud of incense in the car park at Rotherham United''s tatty old Millmoor Ground, chanting incantations and putting a curse on the Millers. Since then, the South Yorkshiremen have plunged to the brink of losing their place in the Football League, been docked a bagful of points for financial irregularities, and came within minutes of extinction. Whether the warlock had anything to do with it all is anyone''s guess, but the Millers were certainly in trouble. Rotherham United are now, a few short years later, playing in a brand-new GBP20 million stadium and looking to power their way back up the league. In May 2013 they were promoted to League One. It''s been a real roller-coaster ride for the club, from their humble beginnings at the dawn of the game to today, but the years have certainly produced a legion of stories and characters - and will no doubt continue to do so. Rotherham United: A Pictorial History tells the story of the Millers, illustrated in full colour with pictures from the Rotherham Advertiser''s archives.
