About this ebook
"Steam Age Machines" contains descriptions and 110 fine etchings and drawings of late 1800's industrial machines and steam engines. The beautifully detailed etchings are of framing quality and show the highest point of the technology. The pre-OSCHA machines reveal the innermost workings of the gears, flywheels and structure before safety regulations hide them from view. This book also gives a brief history of the steam age and the contribution and legacy that is still in use today. In the last chapter it it lays out the possible future of technology and its relevance for future generations of steam power systems.

The Steam Age

. Long live steam! This book is meant to show some of the machines that were made from iron and steel and powered by steam and represent the highest achievement of the steam age. The machines in the following pages are machines that are responsible for the production of the most useful products and tools that we enjoy today.
The machinery in this book was designed and fabricated in the latter part of the 1800's and powered directly with steam engines fueled with fossilized solar energy (coal).
