This book provides a fascinating profile of Lawrie Watts - a gentleman of the industry whose work most of us will be very familiar with - even if his name isn't. But you mustn't let that put you off. If you have any interest in machinery and how things work, then you will love this book.
The author, David Dixon, was a long time friend of Lawrie and presents his story in a very informative and entertaining way. David has also been involved in the motorcycle industry for many years as a competitor, journalist, sponsor and spokesman.
The book has a very wide appeal as it is not exclusively limited to motorcycles, but extends to include Lawrie's ventures into many other interesting engineering fields. I recommend that you take the time to read this book - both my father (who has no real interest in motorcycles) and myself found it captivating from cover to cover.

Watts
My Line
Lawrie
Watts is known primarily for being the highly skilled artist who produced
3-D cutaway diagrams of amazingly complex machinery, but yet making them
so simple to understand and visualise. You will know his work, if
only from the exploded views of vehicles on the cover of Haynes Manuals,
but his skill and insight extended far beyond this. He was also
also an extremely talented designer and engineer and several of the book's
chapters are dedicated to his exploits in these areas.
