Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Originally published in 1902 and containg upwards of one hundred illustrations this early works is a comprehensive and informative guide to model steam engines. Chapters Include; I. Principles of the Steam Engine. II. Model Steam Engine. III. Self-acting Toy Engine. IV. Horizontal Engines. V. Oscillating Engines. VI. Launch Engine. VII. Tank Engine. VII. Tank Engine Details. IX. Governors and Pumps. X. Erecting a Model. XI. Model Boilers. XII. Miscellaneous Items....... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

PREFACE., THIS Handbook contains, in a form convenient for everyday use, a comprehensive digest of the information on Engraving Metals by incision and corrosion scattered over nearly twenty thousand columns of one of the weekly journals it is my fortune to edit-and supplies concise instructiol on the general principles of the subjects of which it treats. I In preparing for publication in book form the mass of relevant matter contained in the volumes of, much had to be arranged anew, altered, and largely re- written. From these causes the contributions of many are so blended that the writings of individuals cannot be distinguished for acknowledgment. However, it may be mentioned that much of the information given in this Handbook was contributed in another form to work by a Sheffield engraver. Readers who may desire additional informnation respecting special details of the matters dealt with in this Handbook, or instruction on kindred subjects, should address a question to work, So that it may be answered in the columns of that journal.
