Newnes publications

Newnes in about 1930, published a series of booklets "Practical Electrical Engineering" Did Newnes also publish a similar series on Machine Shop Practice or say lathe/mill work. John

Not sure about booklet or magazine (with binding service) format but certainly similar were produced in the post war book format. As was Practical Electrical Engineering.

Unfortunately Newnes, unlike Caxton, didn't list all the other series then available on the flyleaf.

I have:-

Complete Lathework in two volumes with datasheets along with the wartime predecessor Lathework in a single, slim, volume.

Complete Gas and Arc welder also in two volumes.

Complete Engineer in four volumes with data sheets.

General Engineering Workshop Practice in five volumes with datasheets.

Also the aforementioned Practical Electrical Engineering again in five volumes with datasheets.

And the related Newnes Engineers Manual data handbook.

Pretty sure there are others too but how many engineering related I don't know. One on plumbing for sure that i didn't buy.

The Caxtons equivalent series covers more titles and subjects but that is a list for another (long) post!

I have Newnes "Motor Repair and Overhauling" (seventh edition) – no date but it covers most cars up to 1939.

Also Newnes "Motorists' Touring Guide – The Open Road" – circa 1920s from the cars pictured.
