Bristol started as an operator of horse-drawn trams, but soon started building its own trams and buses.  This book also deals with the commercial vehicles and the less usual aspects of bus and tram operation – see the specimen page below.  Bristol also spent the Second World War making generators for searchlights.  

There is no dustwrapper 'blurb', so I have copied the author's short introduction - see below.

Long out of print.
