I think the “How to make a Steam Turbine and a Water Turbine” is a bit ambitious too

I wonder the owner could have been George Mitchell, author of a similar book on carpentry and joinery, getting some encouragement from an earlier expert?
The British Library catalogue entry shows that he was born in 1929 so would have been 21 in 1950. I can't see what ABICC means either, but a couple of online instances suggest it could be a building qualification.
