Excerpt from Model Engine-Making in Theory and Practice
Although many of the so-called model engines as, for example, those described in Chaps. II. And III. - have no large and useful archetypes, still the construction of these will prove a valuable stepping stone to the more advanced models described in later chapters and in order to impart as much interest as possible to the work of Model engine-mating, I have in many cases given the proportions of the more important parts as they would be in full-sized engines.
Before however we take in hand the actual con struction of a model engine, it will be convenient to devote a preliminary chapter to the consideration of the tools required and the castings to be used.

Steam Engine in one or other of its many forms is a sufficiently familiar object ;not equally familiar, I venture to think, the knowledge of its manner of working. Yet surely in these days of scientific and technical education it would be well that at least the younger members of the community should have some clear perception of the method in which steam exerts the force which has become so necessary to the exigencies of daily modern life. The want of some practical book on Model Engine-M aking has during the last few years been made evident by the number of queries upon this subject which have appeared in various journals more or less devoted to the interests of mechanical science.
