A Guide to Model Workshop Practice
With Working Drawings of Engines,
Boilers, Rolling Stock, Cannon,
Originally published in 1915. This book is the work of a thoroughly practical engineer possessing unequalled experience of model making, and it is addressed to the amateur desirous of learning how mechanical models, chiefly prime movers, operate and how they can be made in the home workshop. It fully describes the tool equipment necessary, shows how to use the tools and how to execute the numerous handcraft processes involved, and then enters into the details of steam, petrol and electric models; it shows the function of various parts, and explains, step-by-step, the actual amateur workshop methods of building them up, the reader being taken easily and gradually through the construction of every part and the assembling of the complete models, these including boilers, steam engines, internal-combustion engines, steam locomotives, electric locomotives, permanent ways, power hammers, cannon, etc., etc.
