From War Machines to Workhorses
From the muddy trenches of the First World War to the blazing deserts of the Middle East, military vehicles have long served as the proving ground for some of the most rugged, ingenious, and influential automotive innovations. From War Machines to Workhorses is a sweeping journey through the 20th century, revealing how war's brutal demands gave birth to technologies-like four-wheel drive, diesel efficiency, and modular construction-that would ultimately define the civilian automotive landscape.This book traces the surprising lineage from armoured cars to family SUVs, amphibious landing craft to microcars, and half-tracks to highway haulers.

Throttle Through Time
From Gottlieb Daimler's wooden-framed Reitwagen to hydrogen-ready prototypes rolling off today's test benches, the motorcycle has out-maneuvered war, recession, emissions law, and even a global pandemic to remain the world's most agile form of powered transport.

Branch Lines of the Chester & Holyhead Railway
Explores the history and decline of branch railways in north Wales, focusing on their construction, operation, and eventual closures.This book complements the author's previous book on the Chester and Holyhead Railway and completes the story of railways associated with the London and North Western Railway in north Wales. It does so by breaking down developments to three districts working from east to west across the region. The book examines the background to the construction of the branch lines in the context of relevant wider railway developments. It provides an account of the operation of each of the lines with reference to significant incidents on the railway and the relationship of the branch to the communities it served.The dominance of railways peaked around 1914 so the book analyses the process of decline from that status. That decline was relatively rapid and featured several rounds of closures of stations and branches, culminating in the notorious Beeching cuts of the 1960s that eventually left north Wales with fewer than fifty miles of branch railways - under 20% of the original total.The book has maps and tables that provide an overview of the detail contained in the text and the 150 photographs. The book concludes with an overview of the railway system in north Wales. It reflects on how reductions might have been made without depriving so much of the region of a presence on the network, and how the railway policies adopted by private companies and the later nationalized industry paid too little attention to the relationship between the region and its trains.

Mercedes-Benz 230sl, 230s & 230 Models 1963-1968 Workshop Manual
186 pages and profusely illustrated with more than 300 illustrations diagrams and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. The primary focus of this manual is on the 1963-1968 Mercedes-Benz 230 Series including the 230SL, 230S and the 230 models.The manual is broken down into the following sections: Basic Fault Diagnosis, Engine, Fuel System, Ignition System, Cooling System, Clutch, Manual Transmission, Automatic Transmission, Rear Axle, Driveshaft & Rear Suspension, Front Suspension & Hubs, Steering, Brakes, Electrical System, Body, Technical Data, Torque Settings, Lubrication and Wiring Diagrams. In addition, there is also a detailed Fault Diagnosis at the end of each appropriate section. There are more than 300 illustrations, charts and adequate detailed text to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete mechanical renovation making it an invaluable resource for collectors and restorers of these iconic automobiles.As the contents of this manual are based on the original Mercedes factory workshop manual, any special tools will be identified by the appropriate Mercedes part number. However, they may also be substituted by equivalent tools available from many of the reputable aftermarket tool suppliers.We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing technical publications for your classic 230 Series Mercedes as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from bedroom sellers at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as pre-owned, used or even refurbished. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years. However, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.

Coachbuilt Rarities
Across more than a century of automotive history, a rare breed of automobiles has emerged not from production lines but from workshops-one at a time, by hand, and to order.
