Archie Ferguson is the last of the original fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants Alaska bush pilots to be the subject of a biography. Dubbed "Alaska's Clown Prince," he added many hilarious chapters to Alaska's history. He is also the originator of the "Arctic Bump," current practice of airline pilots who give a blast of power as they fly over the Arctic Circle to provide gullible tourists the impression that the air north of the Arctic Circle is different than air south of the Arctic Circle. His title, "the Craziest Pilot in the World, was given to him by The Saturday Evening Post in its December 1945 issue. Ferguson, who died in 1967, was an excellent example of the colorful character/con men who made Alaska what it is today.

The Ferguson Report: An Erasure

The Ferguson Report: An Erasure

Nicole Sealey

Bloodaxe Books Ltd
2023
pokkari
In August 2014, Michael Brown – a young, unarmed black man – was shot to death by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. What followed was a period of protests and turmoil, culminating in an extensive report that was filed by the Department of Justice detailing biased policing and court practices in the city. It is a document that exposes the racist policies and practices that have become commonplace – from disproportionate arrest rates, to flagrant violence directed at the Black community. It is a report that remains as disheartening as it is damning. Now, acclaimed poet Nicole Sealey revisits the investigation in a book that redacts the report, an act of erasure that reimagines the original text as it strips it away. While the full document is visible in the background – weighing heavily on the language Sealey has preserved – it gives shape and disturbing context to what remains. Illuminating what it means to live in this frightening age, and what it means to bear witness, the ferguson report: an erasure is an engrossing meditation on one of the most revealing texts of modern times. Nicole Sealey won the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem in 2021 with an excerpt from the ferguson report: an erasure, earning the judges’ praise for creating ‘new moments of lyrical beauty and contemplation’ out of ‘stifling obfuscations’ to shine ‘a light on all that the report tries to hide’, with Shivanee Ramlochan calling it ‘a poem of resonant cultural and social value’. the ferguson report: an erasure is published simultaneously by Knopf in the US and Bloodaxe Books in the UK. Nicole Sealey’s first collection, ordinary beast (2017), is published in the UK by Bloodaxe at the same time.

Harry Ferguson: Tractor Genius

Harry Ferguson: Tractor Genius

Edward James

Hamilton-Vale Publishing
2021
nidottu
Harry Ferguson was an engineering genius. His ability to visualise and build a new system that changed the role of the tractor on the farm, changed farming around the world. The system in use today is still the same system he developed, all those years ago and this book tells how he saved countless farmers lives. We also read how the design changed the way tractors are used on farms. We hear about the effect on the 1930’s Wall St crash ans the need for the tractor and how the little grey Fergie saved an Australian town. The story then tells us about a Danish company that has made the tractor a media star. Harry Ferguson and his tractor, changed the world.

Massey-Ferguson 35 & 65 Models in Detail

Massey-Ferguson 35 & 65 Models in Detail

Michael Thorne

Herridge Sons Ltd
2014
sidottu
Launched in 1958, as the successor to the ubiquitous Ferguson TE20, the Massey-Ferguson 35 was a product of the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson. It incorporated numerous improvements and new features and became massively popular worldwide. Its companion, the 65 model, was introduced shortly afterwards and was a larger tractor, offered with the revolutionary Multi Power system that gave 12 forward and four reverse gears. Durable and versatile, these tractors are still a practical proposition today, and even unrestored examples command high prices. Michael Thorne, author of Ferguson TE20 in Detail (2006; ISBN 978 0954998 13 4), continues the story as he describes the development of these models, the production versions and their capabilities, options and extras, conversions, implements and their use today.

Massey Ferguson Farm Implements & Machinery

George French; Dennis Burston

Old Pond Publishing Ltd
2013
muu
The third and final programme in the Massey Farm Implements & Machinery series sees George French and Dennis Burston complete a magnificent task. Over the three DVDs they have organised the filming of 109 implements and machines working with some 44 different Massey Ferguson tractors. Together, the programmes show the range that Massey Ferguson had available for farmers from 1958 to 1988, a time when the light was green for increased agricultural output. Part 3 spans from 1977-88, and gets under way with an MF 41 four-furrow plough coupled to a 4-wheel-drive MF 690 tractor. Among the 30 items that follow are several ploughs and cultivators, drills, balers, combines, trailers, two slurry tankers, a Rotaspreader and an 80 loader. A highlight is the 200 forage harvester and trailer, and the programme finishes with a 29XP combine, its sleek lines looking forward to a new era. As with the first two programmes in the series, the implements and tractors in this DVD are all authentic restorations or machines in a state of good preservation. The majority are shown working just as they would have done when they were first used. The programmes are fully scripted and clearly narrated.

The Ferguson Tractor Story

The Ferguson Tractor Story

Stuart Gibbard

Old Pond Publishing Ltd
2019
pokkari
The little grey Fergie is Britain's best-loved tractor, the light user-friendly machine that finally replaced the horse on farms. This highly illustrated account covers the full history of Harry Ferguson's tractor products from his pioneering work before the 1930s to the merger with Massey in 1957. The author has had access to fresh archive material and has interviewed many of the surviving men who were associated with Ferguson. The appeal of the Fergie lay in its lightness and utility, and also in the system of mechanized farming of which it was a part. Throughout the book, reference is made to the implements which lay at the heart of the system.
