Victory at last. Went poking around a little village today and wandered into an old bookshop, not expecting much I asked about science and engineering and, as expected, did not get much. Then nestled among woodworking books was a copy of machinery's handbook
Everything else in there was hideously overpriced so I was dreading this. Nope no engineering any more strikes again and leads to the thing being £8, I just checked completed listings and it some lucky bastards got lower but most do not. 1946 is a bit early really and I will continue looking too but it is not like geometry or short hand maths changes and that is what I mainly wanted it for.
Also another choice book for people hunting such things
£5 it was.
