"A practical treatise for the amateur and professional mechanic - giving instructions on the various processes and operation involved in modelmaking and the actual construction of numerous models, including steam engines, speedboats, guns, locomotives, cranes, etc. Lathe work, pattern work, electroplating, soft and hard soldering, grinding, drilling, etc., are also included."
Sounds like a great book doesn't it? Actually the claims are a little inflated because the author tries to cover too much. Each topic could be a book in itself. Still, it is fascinating, and guaranteed to fill your head with ideas.
Chapters include: workshop, lathe work, drilling. soldering, hardening and tempering steel, abrasives, patternmaking, electroplating, model slide crank steam engine, model twin-cylinder engine, single-cylinder engines, model twin-cylinder marine engine, flash steam plants, flash steam plant for model airplanes, model steam turbine, model boilers, boiler fittings, model hydroplane, lake freighter, gasoline engine, model steam locomotive tank, siege gun, steam yacht, 34" monoplane and much more!
Some of these projects need castings which are not available. But with all the dimensions and photos given, you should be able to modify and improve the designs. This is great raw material for the model builder.
So if you have a small lathe and want to build something in the worst way, or you just collect plans, or you just want a great book for a rainy afternoon, grab this gem from 1925. Loaded with great illustrations and great ideas. Don't pass it up. Order a copy today! 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 paperback 430 pages
