For those of the "cuppa": persuasion:
At The Depot we often get boxes of "stuff" that belonged to grandpa or great
uncle Osgood and The Depot should add this to their 'collection.'
Today I found this little booklet in one such box.
THE "MODEL ENGINEER" SERIES
MODEL BOILER MAKING
NO. 6 9d
Designing . Making . Testing
Percival Marshall & Co. Ltd. London.
A Practical Handbook on the Designing, Making, and
Testing of Small Steam Boilers
by
E. L. PEARCE
revised by
V. W. DELVES-BROUGHTON
No where in this 70 plus page booklet can I find a date of any kind.
There are advertisements for "The Model Railway News" Clockwork, Steam and
Electric. Published the first of every month.
Another advert for "The Model Engineer everybody's journal of
MECHANICS, ELECTRICS, MODELS, & TOOLS. Published every Thursday.
Does anyone have any idea of how old this may be? Even though the pages are
tan and the edges and margins are quite brown and brittle, it must surely be
younger than 'dogfood Geoff'
Keep your steam up!
