A Model Twin Cylinder Marine Engine and Flash Steam Plants: Two Chapters from Model Making, by Raymond Francis Yates, 1929, originally published by the Norman W. Henley Publishing Co., New York, NY, 1929. This is a new photoduplicated reprint by Nation Builder Books, Leesburg, VA, 2008. 5½ x 8½ softcover, 26 pages.
Please note this is a digitally enhanced reproduction of only TWO chapters from the original 1929 book, by Raymond Francis Yates.
Please note that these two chapters do NOT provide exact, fully dimensioned plans for either the engine, or the flash boiler. But there are general dimensions of major components, and a model engineer with a bit of experience should have no problem getting the engine or flash boiler built.
