Do you mean old as in really old, or just old as in 2nd hand but cheap and fairly recent?

I love proper old electrical books.

I used to collect old on-site guides and old regs books which made for interesting reading. Could often pick them up on Ebay for a couple of quid.

How old? And any particular focus? Electrical engineering covers a broad spectrum of subjects.

Any regs books you're parting with? Down to 14th 1974 at that mo

I like the older stuff, these are some of mine. The Sprague one is the oldest and my favourite.

That’s the sort I’m after. I was speaking to an old boy and I was asking him about books etc. He was showing me some tray work that was done, not to his standard and said that in a lot of old electrical books it gave you the practical skills an md taught you how to do the work properly.

They sometimes come up on ebay. Mine have been bought mainly from 2nd hand book shops. I find them very interesting, though a lot of the stuff is obviously very out of date now.

I’ve seen a few on eBay. Do any of the ones you have show practical examples?

Of tray work specifically? Must admit I'm not sure. I'll have a quick flick through when I get chance.

Thank you. What are the red books like? I’ve seen a set on eBay.

They're gorgeous, sigh they don't make them like that these days

The CITB books I posted earlier do, will see if I can snag a few pages
