Flash Steam Its application in model and full-size practice by Edgar T Westbury TEE Publishing Copyright© 1984 1949 Reprinted 2002 ISBN#0-905100 59 X From when it was first published in 1949 it was an inclusive book on an experimental subject. Bringing together information from the assorted articles in the magazine the Model Engineer. Covering the essential factors in sound design of flash steam plants, along with frank statements of the many and conflicting problems which it entails. For such a short book, and small in size. It is filled with the questions and answers that flash steam boat builders have figured out since the 30’s. Filled with clear drawings of the bits and pieces of the engines and steam generators. Black & white photos, that is clear enough to see the items being pictured. Not so much builders or shop drawings as there are no dimensions of the parts. But the practical information contained in it will be of immense use to the flash steam experimenter. Introduction History and Development Types of Flash Boilers Methods of Firing Types of Flash Steam Engines Steam Engine Valve Gears Boiler Feeding Auxiliaries Appendix Each chapter covers the subject well and with the depth that somebody looking to see if the flash plant is for them.
