Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with slight creasing to lower edge and traces of storage. 195pp. A very wide-ranging study of the application of steam power across the ages recording the years of the railway locomotives, from Stephenson and the Rainhill Trials, through World War II and the Beeching axe, to the subsequent railway museums; Brunel and his famous iron ship The Great Britain, in a chapter on marine engines; the great days of the traction engines and the fall, and rise, of the great showmen's road locomotives. Also includes the many applications of steam for stationary engines.
