If you don't already have this publication in your library and you are a Norton owner, shame on you. This publication is both informative and a good read. I use it for reference when my mates and I have a disagreement over some trivial fact and it has given me an appreciation of the development of this classic British Iron and the trails and tribulations the company suffered until it's demise. You need this information to be a knowledgeable Norton owner.
