This workshop manual was written in the late 1950s or early '60s by PL Garratt, the Norton Service Department manager who succeeded EM Franks( the author of a well-known servicing book). I have looked for a copy of Garratt for ages and not found one. Does anyone have a spare, or know where to find such a book?
Many years ago when I lived in New Zealand, I borrowed a copy of Garratt from the National Library on interloan, and made some photocopies (most given away to friends), but an original would be good to have.

That manual is a very detailed book for Norton owners. It does appear at auto-jumbles and i always buy them not matter what the cost. They are the only manual that i know of for the Nomad bikes.

I also have a copy
of EM Franks inherited from my father, along with his 1950 Singles parts book and workshop manual.

... do crop up occasionally on ebay. I was lucky in that I inherited my 1948 copy from my dad (well actually pinched it off his bookshelf!)
