Crowley's 32-page overview celebrates the stationary beam engine's pivotal industrial role. From early Newcomen pumps in mining at the turn of the 18th century to large-scale rotative engines powering textile mills, he explains beam mechanics, condenser improvements, and boiler design. Illustrated with engineering diagrams and preserved engine photographs, the book illuminates how steam's rocking horse shaped Victorian industry. 32 pages, illustrated throughout. Small books, big content. Shire Publications serve up bite-sized journeys into bygone days and ways, from agricultural hand tools to wartime heroines. Richly illustrated and surprisingly informative, they're the perfect mix of nostalgia, curiosity, and collector's delight. Whether you're a history buff or a casual skimmer of quirky topics, these little volumes pack a proper punch without bruising your budget.
