Old Delivery Vans
Providing a vital service to communities and businesses over the years, delivery vans have evolved through time, with many different models taking to the road. In the 1920s and 1930s many types of unusual bodywork were fitted and numerous and diverse technical specifications were available.

Proprietary Engines for Vehicles
Since the dawn of motoring firms like de Dion-Bouton and Aster have provided power for other manufacturers' chassis. Until the numbers of car makers were decimated by takeovers and bankruptcies around 1930 up to half of the hundreds of models available on both sides of the Atlantic had proprietary engines. From the 1950s on the new breed of limited production sports cars like TVR and Marcos used other makers' engines, usually from mass-produced cars such as Ford. Thereafter, the remaining proprietary engine makers tended to cater for the upsurge in diesel vehicles.
Social Work, Critical Reflection and the Learning Organization
A critical characteristic of human service organizations is their capacity to learn from experience and to adapt continuously to changing external conditions such as downward pressure on resources, constant reconfiguration of the welfare state and rapidly changing patterns of social need. This invaluable, groundbreaking volume discusses in detail the concept of the learning organization, in particular its relevance to social work and social services. Contributors join together from across Europe, North America and Australia to explore the development of the learning organization within social work contexts and its use as a strategic tool for meeting problems of continuous learning, supervision and change. The volume addresses a range of important topics, from strategies for embedding learning and critical reflection in the social work learning organization, to the implications of the learning organization for the new community-based health and social care agenda.
