Tome premier, seul paru. Seconde édition de l'un des meilleurs ouvrages jamais écrits sur la locomotive à vapeur, paru pour la première fois en 1938. Grâce à André Chapelon (1892-1978) ancien élève de l'École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, ingénieur, concepteur et scientifique hors du commun, la locomotive à vapeur atteignit son plus haut sommet de puissance et de rendement, au moment même où elle se voyait supplantée par d'autres formes de puissance motrice. Bien qu'il ait été vilipendé par certains de ses collègues et que ses premiers projets aient été délibérément écartés en faveur de la traction électrique et diesel, il acquit néanmoins une incontestable réputation internationale. Dès 1972, H. C. B. Rogers lui consacra une biographie en langue anglaise. Exemplaire enrichi d'un envoi signé de l'auteur sur la page de faux-titre : "À Monsieur Gérard Eymery avec mon meilleur souvenirs des tous mes hommages". On joint : le n°33 de Science et vie de juin 1945 contenant un article d'André Chapelon sur la locomotive vapeur en France. Quelques petites taches à la toile.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Written by the great French engineer André Chapelon, the man responsible for what were the world's most efficient and, on a pound for pound basis, most powerful steam locomotives ever built.

He then looks, again in detail, at the major standard gauge locomotive designs worldwide of the 20th Century, including his own.Translated from the French by George Carpenter, this edition includes various addenda updating Chapelon's work to the end of commercial steam, looks at Chapelon's unbuilt designs, and reviews the work of those who have continued to develop advanced steam locomotives.A book nobody interested in the history of the steam locomotive in the 20th century should be without.659 A4 format pages, over 450 B¿&¿W photos, drawings, diagrams and charts, plus 41 colour illustrations.
