Description: This Book was first published in 1888 for beginners as a fascinating and comprehensive guide to building your first steam engine. While steam are no longer “the most important power of the day,” this book remains a fascinating in-depth resource for those with either a theoretical or practical interest in building and using small steam engines. Included in this book are over 100 detailed diagrams drawn by the author to illustrate the process of building each engine that include a simple single-action oscillating cylinder engine, more complex horizontal and vertical slide-valve engines, launch, marine, and locomotive engines and model boiler. Whether you are a model engine builder or love learning about the history of steam engines, this long-standing classic should be in your library. The Book has been read but is in very good condition with slight visible signs of wear and tear. There are no missing or damage pages, no highlighting of the text or writing in the margins. The Book has been stored in a smoke-free home library
