There are no doubt many books on the BB, but I'm fortunate to have one with a Forward by Sir DB, published in 1962 wherein he states that it is the '...most comprehensive book on the Bailey Bridge and Uniflote equipment....'. It is a very detailed book.
'Bailey Bridge - Uniflote - Handbook. compiled by Edward Aubury, published by Acrow Press for Thos Storey (Engineers) Ltd, 'sole manufacturers of Bailey Bridging..' Of course, they may have been the only ones in 1962, but these days there are manufacturers of bailey-type bridging in several countries. Mike C |

So you did well at maths at school then Mike ? This publication has many drawings ( showing dimensions ) of the individual parts . A Great resource for making scale models as you can scale down the dimensions . He describes the history somewhat , but not in great detail. He says " The standard Bailey as developed consisted of only 20 part types" . It describes the erection sequence as well .

Nope: hopeless at Maths. Herself doesn't let me near the cheque book balancing for that reason (so I just figure if there are cheques in the book, there's money in the bank.....)
But I wouldn't mind a copy to place with all my other bailey stuff, if it's going begging.... Mike C |
