Road Traffic and its control by H Alker Tripp, the Roadmakers Library, Volume 7, 1948
One of the fascinating series of "The Roadmakers Library" issued in 1948 and this, on traffic control, by one of the foremost experts on the subject. A Alker Tripp had a long career in traffic management having been steered by his family into a career in the Metropolitan Police, where he rose to became Assistant Commissioner (Traffic) in 1932. He wrote extensively on the subject as well as having a life time interest in art, his desire to train as an artist apparently thwarted by his father!
This cover jacket (or dustwrapper) has, apart from a wee road roller) a marvellous set of period traffic signals!
