Synopsis
Title: Pictorial History Of Steam Power
Artist: John Van Riemsdijk; Kenneth Brown
Format: Hardback. 192 pages
Publisher: Octopus Books, ISBN: 0706409760, Year: 1980
The fascinating story of the development of steam power, from the earliest discoveries to the present day, is the subject of this lavishly illustrated book. The steam engine in all its forms — on the railway, at sea, on the road, in the factory, on the farm and even in the fairground — is discussed in detail and pictured in full colour.
Detailed line drawings illustrate the more technical aspects of the subject, including boilers and their accessories, turbines, and electricity generation. The book also reflects the recent interest in preserving the magnificent engines of the Steam Age, and gives a list of major collections of these in the museums of the world.
