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" they will, in effect, have completed an
engineering apprenticeship, and will have a model engine of which
they can be proud and which fully reveals the skills that they
have learned.
