Steam came to the farm, and the young engineer had to learn its temper. James Stephenson explains farm engines and boilers, from locomotive fire-tube to water-tube types, with the terms and attachments a beginner must master. A hands-on guide to running powered machinery safely. Fire up the farm engine without fear of the boiler.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
