Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1888 for beginners, Model Engine-Making is a fascinating and comprehensive guide to building your first steam engine.

Included within this book are over 100 detailed diagrams drawn by the author to illustrate the process of building each engine, including:

A simple single-action oscillating cylinder engine
More complex horizontal and vertical slide-valve engines
Launch, marine, and locomotive engines
And finally, even a model boiler!
