New/No Jacket. 270mm x 210mm x 10mm. 110 Pages with Colour & Black/White Illustrations & Photos, An illustrated historic narrative on semaphore signalling with special reference to victoria australia - This book provides an authoritative insight into the evolution of signalling systems on the Victorian Railways. An outstanding aspect of this publication is the manner in which the author, Peter Fisher, has researched the development of signalling systems overseas (particularly in the UK and the USA) to establish the correlation between overseas best practice and its adoption and adaptation to the Victorian environment. He explores how and why Victoria chose to blend two vastly different philosophies to achieve cohesive outcome. It was Peter Fisher's concern that the mechanical signals on the Victorian Railways are fast disappearing without any published record which led him to his meticulous preparation of the material from this publication. The book's 110 pages are printed on high quality paper and include over 160 black & white and colour photographs and illustrations 2007.
