Henry Bolles Lent wrote non-fiction books for boys from the 30s through the 70s.
Many of them are available on amazon and have titles like Jet Pilot Overseas, I Work on a Newspaper and Man Alive in Outer Space; our Space Surgeons' Greatest Challenge.
I can't find Diggers and Builders in the public domain, but you can read a .pdf of Wide Road Ahead! Building an Automobile Here.
It is interesting to note that Sam the cement mixer is a person, unlike Dizzy the cement mixer who is an anthropomorphic machine.
"Good pictures"....who was the illustrator?
