Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives
A 1916 Chicago trade manual by Calvin F. Swingle, published by F. J. Drake for Sears, Roebuck, teaching locomotive construction, care and running to engineers and firemen through examination questions and answers. The 407 plates are line-engraved sectional views of air brakes, injectors, valves and cylinder assemblies, hatched and solid-black in cutaway, lettered with reference keys and arrows for steam flow, giving designers hard-edged mechanical diagrams that reproduce cleanly at any scale.
