TSERS and repairers of farm machinery will find the "Farm Mechanization Handbook" an up-to .date and comprehensive work. Written by T. Hammond Cradock of Farm Mechanization, the third. edition was published last Monday by Temple Press Ltd., and costs 25s. net (26s. 6d. by post).
Fourteen new chapters have been added to an edition which has been considerably enlarged and revised. These include Electricity and the Tractor, Setting the Buckrake, Buying a Used Tractor. De-carbonizing the David Brown Diesel—The New Fordson Major Diesel, the Field Marshall and the Nuffield Vaporizing Oil Engine, A Chapter of Accidents. Binder Operation and Maintenance, and Pick-up Balers.
The text is backed up by numerous illustrations, and many of the repairs described are also depicted in a photographic sequence enabling them to be followed and applied readily by the novice. There are also cutaway perspective drawings of the popular types of tractor, combine harvester and pickup baler.
