Profusely illustrated, the book provides a complete rundown on every Triumph twin or triple from 1937 on. 1937 was the year that Edward Turner designed what became the definitive four-stroke vertical twin and as author Roy Bac.on putS it. " ... every subsequent engine with two upright cylinders owes something to the Triumph for at-least a part of its ancestry." Triumph manufactured a twin back in 1913, but it was Turner's .engine that was the first to be built in large numbers_ ' While the chapters detailing the yearly changes are interesting. the meat of the book is contained in the appendices which provide detailed specs. colors, engine and frame numbers. model recognition points. production flow charts, carburetor settings and original prices.
