Written by Paul N. Hasluck. Another gem from Hasluck's "Work" series 1918.
"A practical manual on model steam engines embracing information on the tools, materials and processes employed in their construction."
Chapters include: principles of the steam engine, model steam engine, self-acting toy engine, horizontal engines, oscillating engines, launch engine, tank engine, tank engine details, governors and pumps, erecting a model, model boilers, and miscellaneous items.
This isn't a collection of plans as such. No dimensioned drawings of any consequence. This is about the details a model maker must know if he is to build a small steam engine. You get how-to and construction details, but this is more about stimulating you to generate ideas. Lots of engravings and drawings of components.
A great little book for engine builders. Loaded with practical ideas waiting to be adapted to modern materials and methods.
