Instruction Book for Gresham's Quick Release Vacuum Brake System on British Railway Railcars

This contained a variety of literature, different copies I've seen had differing material inside. It was formed of a thin card cover with metal clips to add/remove content.

I haven't repeated items found on other pages here, this would include component information sheets and application drawings.
