What is the objection to punched holes? How may a straightedge be tested? What means may be employed to standardize punches? For what purpose are trammels used? In beveling a sheet with a bevel shear, what precaution must be taken? What is the simplest way of handling a large number of plates?


If you can answer all these questions, maybe you don’t need this book. But if you’re of the growing number of live steam enthusiasts looking for information to help you design and build an engine and boiler, then you will love this book. And be sure to look for our two dozen other reproduced books from this ICS series on steam railroading and steam engineering as taught and practiced in the 1930s and 1940s.

Why is it essential ro prepare boiler-plate edges by the planning process? What angle in planning is considered suitable for seams that are to be calked? How should the ends of boiler shell plates be shaped preparatory to rolling? How are hand-flanged plates treated after flanging to remove brittleness and to restore the metal to its original condition?

If you can answer all these questions, maybe you don’t need this book. But if you’re of the growing number of live steam enthusiasts looking for information to help you design and build an engine and boiler, then you will love this book. And be sure to look for our two dozen other reproduced books from this ICS series on steam railroading and steam engineering as taught and practiced in the 1930s and 1940s.
