Description

This practical, instructional book describes the construction of a model of the Lampitt portable steam engine, which dates back to 1862, and which provided rotative power to drive threshing machines, circular saws, feed mills and other farm machinery.

The construction of every component is described in precise detail and the text is supported by many helpful step-by-step photographs.

In addition, useful advice is provided about obtaining materials and about the tools that are required to equip a model-engineering workshop.

Accordingly, the information provided in this fascinating book will enable the reader to construct not only the Lampitt engine but also many other engineering models in the future.

When the reader has finished building 'the Lampitt' he will, in effect, have completed an engineering apprenticeship, and will have a model engine of which he can be proud and which fully reveals the skills that he has learned.

Fully illustrated with 142 step-by-step colour photographs.
