5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding Reference Source,
This review is from: History of the American Steam Fire-Engine (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
Outstanding source of photographs, lithographs, and precise detailed mechanical line drawings of these old machines.
Originally printed in 1896, the written commentary is in the rich, highly descriptive style of the era, conveying nearly as much information as the images themselves. Highly recommended to both model makers and fire apparatus buffs. History of the American Steam Fire-Engine (Dover Books on Transportation)
