The Classic Machinery Network

Ok, I have extracted the Blaw-Knox leafletts to separate topics.

Please scan the pages a little bit larger, it is not easy to read them as they are now

Hi Guys,
Maybe it would be worth starting a thread on old articles also, i would like to see some of the old construction news bits that David has

Time to get scanning

I was not the typical 10 year old kid in 1970 who looked forward to a copy of the Beano or Dandy dropping through the letter box each week. No, I looked forward to opening Construction News on a Thursday morning particularly if I could see there was a shiny A3 sized poster inside advertising a JCB 3C or similar. Over two or three years my collection increased and I remember photographs of a 5C working on the M5 in Gloucester. Unfortunately these were binned when I left home. Do any of these still exist as it would be great to see them again?
