Fairground Mercury – Volume 1 Issue 2

Description

We are offering the first 4 Volumes of the  magazines that formed the first output of the FAGB output from 1977/8 as a downloadable file. This is the forerunner to the Fairground Mercury and went under the name ‘Century of Tobers’.

These early journals were lovingly put together and printed by Michael Smith, and captured the first examples of the wave of serious research into fairground rides – past and present – undertaken by the core members of the association.

We have sought to obtain permission to allow these articles to be made available by original authors where possible. As with current research and news on machine ownership changes, not all things turn out to be accurate, so please enjoy this work in the spirit in which it was written – by dedicated enthusiasts hoping to provide a basis for the enjoyment of our hobby.
