Selection of Papers by L.D. Porta - Volume 5. EXHAUST SYSTEMS and other Aspects of Steam Locomotive Design, Performance and Operation

The fifth, and probably the final, volume in this selection of papers by L. Dante Porta, the last of the great steam engineers, and one who never gave up on his attempts to develop a modern steam locomotive for the 21st Century.

21 papers here. covering Modern Steam Concepts, Locomotive Exhausts, Compound Locomotives, Articulated Locomotives and seven Miscellaneous Topics. All are listed below in .jpg form.

329 pages, mainly B&W illustrations and diagrams. Card Covers.

NB - As in all these volumes there is considerable mathematics in many of these papers, but the general drift is always clear, and the information is invaluable to steam engineers, or to model engineers wanting to improve the performance of their models.
