La Locomotive (réédition de l'édition originale de 1920)
The Boiler, the Engine, the Vehicle and finally the Tender make up the four parts of this book. Ulysse Lamalle and Fernand Legein know what they are talking about: the first was a Civil Engineer of Mines, the second, a Civil Engineer mechanic and both spent their lives in trains, studying them to improve them constantly. Although technical, this book is accessible to all.
More than 320 engravings, diagrams and plans illustrate this text and improve its understanding. Here, all the technical parts and the various elements of the locomotive first, then of the tender are dissected and analyzed. The reversal of the direction of travel is described at length, supported by engravings, as are the brakes, essential organs which have largely contributed to making the railway one of the safest means of transport in the modern world.
This book is also illustrated with many magnificent black and white photographs of locomotives and drivers in action that the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Belges and enthusiasts have kindly made available to us for this reissue and which will allow the "Old-timers" to rediscover the very special atmosphere of this universe.
A very beautiful book on the steam locomotive that is becoming more and more distant...
A genuine reissue. This book is not a facsimile.
