An original 1908 Twenty-Third Edition of Up-To-Date Air Brake Catechism by Robert H. Blackall, published by The Norman W. Henley Publishing Company.
This early railroad engineering reference covers Westinghouse air brake systems used on locomotives and freight equipment. Written in a question-and-answer format, it contains over 2,000 examination questions with answers and is extensively illustrated with detailed engineering engravings.
A standout feature of this copy is that it retains its large fold-out engineering plates, including detailed diagrams of brake valves, locomotive equipment, and air brake system layouts. These folding plates are highly desirable and often missing from surviving copies.
The book remains in its original publisher’s cloth binding with gilt spine lettering. It also bears an early bookseller stamp from The Book Exchange, Tacoma, Washington, adding a bit of period history. Please review all photos carefully for the best representation of condition and completeness.
