Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 1993. B&W illustrations. Illustrated endpapers. "Greg Drew and Jack Connell have traced the history and development of steam power in its adaption to the mining industry, of the engines, their duties and operation. In this publication they present a thoroughly researched historical review from a South Australian perspective that includes engineering aspects and practices of a mining era that had such a profound impact on this State's development. The study gives new meaning to and understanding of surviving mine relics, the most imposing of which are the tall houses which were constructed to support engines whose place in our mining heritage is not generally recognised."
