A fascinating compendium of early-20th-century mechanical devices, this expansive work ranges from basic hooks and levers to complex machinery used in steam, motive, hydraulic, air, and electric power, navigation, gearing, clocks, mining, and construction. More than 1,800 engravings include simple illustrations and detailed cross-sections.

Excellent Reference

This book was originally published in 1899 and reprinted and enlarged in 16 editions between that date and 1921.

It has a line drawing and a short description of a wide variety of all sorts of the mechanical things, steam engines, valves, and other pieces of technology. This will be of tremendous value to anyone exploring some of the lost technology from 100 years ago.

The drawings are clear and the text very useful.

I really recommend picking this up by anyone interested in the history of steam technology.

Fascinating view back in time to the steam era

Great book, from the glory days of mechanical engineering. A pity it doesn't have dates or more information on how some of the machines work. Essential if you are a mechanical inventor.
