I have a copy also. A really superb book on old projectors, with an extensive section on all facets of the Pathe Baby.
My book does not have a proper cover. If anyone can send me a scan of the cover, I would really appreciate it.

When I bought my book from Gerald he told me he was working on part two of the book which would continue with the new post-war projectors. He said he had started but there was a lot to do.
I kept in touch about once a year, each time he said it was slow going due to his bad health.
After his sad death I heard that all his research paperwork was now in the hands of a very well-known collector who might eventually be able to publish. It's all now gone very quiet.
However, the collector is a regular table holder at the Ealing conventions. If he is at Ealing next month I will have a word with him to ask how the project may be going.
