About this title

Synopsis

The steam engine reached a high peak of development in the textile mills of Lancashire and Yorkshire. This volume, together with volume 2 reviews the evolution of textile mill engine design over a period of nearly a century, using almost entirely examples of engines still in operation at the time the photographs were taken.
