Название: The Spirit of Steam: A Photographic Record of the Golden Age of American Steam Автор: William L. Withuhn Издательство: Smithmark Pub Год: 1995 Формат: PDF Страниц: 152 Размер: 48,3 МБ Язык: Английский
In this album of black-and-white photographs, a people-oriented treatment of steam locomotives is favored over an obsession with mechanical detailia that tends to overwhelm photo collections of railroading. Dramatic shots of smoking machines hurtling down the line are de rigueur in any album, but Withuhn's selections and captions stress the quotidian meaning of steam engines in the three decades before diesels and autos triumphed: they were the economic lifeline.

Countless books have been written on different aspects of the steam locomotive, but few have attempted to give an overall picture of its design, method of operation, handling characteristics and the many - often contradictory - factors involved in efficient and economical running. In this new book, Dr. Tuplin draws on his detailed and comprehensive knowledge of the railway engine to describe its invention, precisely how it works, the design and constructional considerations which had to be faced as it gradually grew larger and more powerful, the relationship between efficiency and cost, and the practical problems of the locomotive in service.
