The LETOURNEAU Legend (Hard bound print copy)
|
The LeTourneau Legend is a 50-year history of
American earthmoving equipment manufacturer, R. G. LeTourneau, Inc. Few would argue that
LeTourneau's history is essentially the history of the earthmoving industry. R. G.
LeTourneau's fingerprints can be found "embedded" in the design of practically
all large present-day earthmoving and mining equipment. First published in 1995, this was
the first book ever to be published covering the history of LeTourneau heavy equipment.
Source research materials include the former company archives held at Letourneau
University and non-company materials, researched over the course of nearly two decades
prior to publication. The book begins with R.G. LeTourneau's early days as a pioneer
earthmoving contractor in California in the 1920s and follows the Company's expansion to
become R. G. LeTourneau, Inc., eventually employing some 5000 people in four factories in
the USA and one in Australia. Now in its third printing, this book is considered to be the
most authoritative book on the history of earthmoving equipment and has become the
benchmark reference work for numerous books, magazine articles and writings by authors and
writers on the subject of heavy earthmoving equipment history and LeTourneau equipment,
world-wide. The LeTourneau Legend includes 314 accompanying photographs and illustrations, some being shown in print for the very first time along with production records, equipment patents and specifications. Also included are historical accounts of the involvement of key personnel who worked for the LeTourneau Company. The LeTourneau Legend is a
high quality hard bound book of considerable technical detail. It is assumed by author and
technical writer Philip G Gowenlock that the reader is familiar with engineering,
mechanical and earthmoving terminology. Prices include air shipping. To Order: Choose your country and Click on BUY NOW to go direct to the secure PayPal site and place your order.

The LETOURNEAU Archive (Hard bound print copy)
|
The LeTourneau Archive is
a companion book to The LeTourneau Legend and is a pictorial reference guide to identify
the machines designed and built by R.G. LeTourneau, Inc from 1920 to 1998. This complete photographic
archive covers the early years from 1920 to 1953 (up until the sale of the company to
WABCO in 1953) and continues the following years up until the sale of the company to
Marathon in 1971 and beyond. It contains 280 full page photographs of LeTourneau equipment
including earthmoving, land clearing, heavy transportation, materials handling and lifting
equipment, mobile off-shore drilling platforms, and a number of futuristic designs that
were on the drawing board in the late 1960s but not developed or built.
It is widely accepted that R.G
LeTourneau is considered the 'Father' of modern day earthmoving practice and equipment.
This book describes in photographic form, the machines LeTourneau designed and built. Some
were one-off, experimental or prototype machines, while others were built in their
thousands and became industry standard for earthmoving contractors all over the world, for
decades. For quick reference and identification, author and technical writer Philip G
Gowenlock has provided model identification and general technical specifications for each
machine featured. The LeTourneau Archive is a high quality hard bound
book - a "Must Have" to complete your heavy equipment reference library. Prices
include air shipping.
