Tuning for Speed (Motorcycles)

April 12, 2021April 8, 2021notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment

Published by Temple Press in 1951 this is the second Edition (first was in 1948). The author, P E Irving was both a successful rider and engineer. The book is about “tuning motorcycles for speed” well illustrated with some interesting adverts ( a passion of mine, period adverts that is, though I am aware of speed, I have done two courses to be aware of speed already and will shortly be doing a third).

The dust jacket is a tad on the scruffy side, but its existence is the reason that the boards are in such good condition, I just love the Lodge advert on the back cover.

They should really come with a warning some of the wiring instructions are a little on the dodgy side even for those who ignore the elves. I have 17 issues from 1951 and 1952 the contents are as above, do you know of any current magazine that tells you how to test for Uranium, surely essential if you intend to go prospecting. I am selling these in the shop for £1.50 each, through the post for one issue £2.50 (to UK destinations) but if you require more that one through the post just add £1.50 for each issue.

Though I have thousands (that is a literal claim by the way) of SF digests I don’t have that many non SF and have only catalogued a few that I have. I am hoping search engines will pick up authors folk are looking for. I used last names only when I was tired, or they wouldn’t fit on my input screen, sorry about that. On some, unfortunately I only listed names on the cover, which by the way, are not a patch on SF covers.
