{"product_id":"9781903366158","title":"Ransomes, Sims \u0026 Jefferies: Agricultural Engineers - A History of Their Products","description":"Ransomes of Ipswich was at the forefront of the agricultural engineering and grass-cutting industries in Britain. In the course of their 200-year history they were responsible for many innovations including the self-sharpening ploughshare and the world's first self-moving agricultural machine. They manufactured the world's first lawn mower and were renowned for steam engines and threshers. They built tractors and trolleybuses, combines and reach trucks; they provided Britain's tillage implements and they exported throughout the world. Using over 300 illustrations, a quarter in colour, this book provides a vivid picture of Ransomes and in particular their contribution to 20th-century farm machinery. The text is authoritative, full of detail and useful information for a wide range of enthusiasts, whether their interests are match ploughing, MG tractors, grass-maintenance machinery or combines.","brand":"Old Pond Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052440928496,"sku":"9781903366158","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781903366158_p0.jpg?v=1763612851","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781903366158","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
