Great book
This is a great book if you are interested in LeTourneau history, it covers a lot of the machines these folks invented. LeTourneau was the go to man for many many of the early years through to today for equipment inventions, many inventions that you probably never have heard of or seen. He built a huge snow train for the military in Alaska, four of the giant tires are on one of the Bigfoot monster trucks, if you have an interest in old heavy equipment inventions this is a book I believe you will really enjoy, it shows the first scraper ever built to the largest scraper ever built, one so big it was only used on part of interstate 20 in East Texas, so big it could not be transported, it was used on this job only and went back to the plant to be disassembled and parted out and the rest scrapped. Then it covers some of the biggest front end rubber tired loaders ever built right up to one still built today, and so on and so on, I don't think you would ever be disappointed with this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
