British Railways stinks: the life and work of Britain's last railways chemists

摘要

The other authors of this work are John Sheldon, Ian McEwen, Vince Morris (deceased), Ian Cotter and Geoff Hunt. In 2012 Early Railway Chemists by Colin Russell and John Hudson gave a sober assessment of the origins of railway chemistry, but this is a livelier account of the profession. Following a brief historical Introduction Chapter 2 describes the work of the Area Laboratory and some of the hazards of the job, both in the laboratory and out on the working railway where scientific effort could conflict with personal safety.
