F[rancis] C[ameron] Tyler, The Geometrical Arrangement of Ancient Sites

Simpkin Marshall, London, December 1939

This booklet is subtitled “A development of the ‘Straight Track’ Theory”. It is based on a lecture by Major F. C. Tyler OBE, who took over as president of the Straight Track Club on the death of its founder Alfred Watkins in 1935. As explained in the Preface, illness prevented Tyler from revising the work for publication himself. He died in September 1939, and the book was published the following December.
