Steam-Engine
Design Learn how to design a steam engine from an 1896 engineer.
You'll learn the basics: all the components, how they fit together,
and how they work. Then you'll learn about the choices and tradeoffs that
must be made 
concerning
expansion, valving, boiler pressure, piston speeds and more. 
Then
you start plugging numbers into the formulas to come up with back pressure
and point of exhaust closure for simple engines and engines with single swinging
eccentrics.
Investigate simple, non-condensing engines, high speed automatic cutoff engines, hoisting and locomotive engines, and multiple-expansion engines. Whip out your pocket calculator and design in detail the proportions of the cylinders, steam ports and passages, dimensions of the steam chest and more.
You will learn secrets and techniques that haven't been taught in almost a century. Loaded with incredible design detail. Reasonably priced. Order a copy! 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 192 pages
