The tractor ndash; a self-propelled machine powered by an internal combustion engine and designed to pull, carry or drive other implements, machines and vehicles used in agriculture ndash; is an essential part of modern farming. A vintage tractor is one that was on the market before 1952. By 1910 ten thousand tractors were at work in North America, but in Britain fewer than fifty. However, they steadily gained ground and few farmers persisted for long with other methods after the Second World War. This book tells the fascinating story of the development of the tractor, particularly in Britain, and illustrates many examples. About the author The late Charles L. Cawood farmed 200 acres of grass and arable land on the Yorkshire Wolds. He made an intensive study of the development of farm tractors and possessed a large collection of tractor literature. This reprint has been updated by Nick Baldwin, who is currently working on an Andash;Z of world tractors for Tractors and Machinery magazine published by Kelsey Publishing.

The popular view of Scottish solo step-dances has always been the Sword Dance and the Highland Fling seen at Highland Games. In the early 1950s, the authors of this work began to question whether there was a greater history and variety to step-dancing in Scotland. Between 1950 and 1967 they travelled all over Scotland in their quest, and this book provides a record of their literary research and collecting. It aims to show: that Highland Games dances are only a small part of a rich heritage; how the once numerous dances were taught by popular dancing masters; and the link to step-dancing in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, a subject covered by the text in an appendix. The book also contains instructions for the step-dances collected from mainland Scotland, the Hebrides and Cape Breton, including clog-dances and dirk dances.
