Stan Bray provides all the information a ship modeler needs to power a model boat using a live steam power plant. A model engineer and author of wide experience, including editorship of the magazine Model Engineers' Workshop, Bray offers detailed drawings for the construction of simple and advanced steam engines, boilers, and ancillary equipment. Many types of engines--from simple oscillating cylinder to piston and poppet valve--along with the application of radio control to the management of the boiler and engine are covered. Given the huge growth in interest in live steam powered model boats in recent years and the lack of practical details available, the plans and information included in this book will be welcomed by modelers everywhere.

Milling

From a craftsman with a lifetime's experience in engineering and metalworking, a detailed guide to milling, a vital part of the engineer's and the model engineer's armory With the aid of photographs and specially prepared drawings, this guide covers different types of milling machines and describes milling techniques. Milling is the process of cutting away material—usually, but not exclusively, metal—by feeding a piece of work past a rotating multiple-tooth cutter. The cutting action of the teeth of the milling cutter provides a fast method of machining, and the machines surface may be flat, angular, or curved. The surface may also be milled to any combination of shapes. Offering plenty of advice and warnings of potential pitfalls, this is the perfect companion for the amateur engineer.

The Crowood Press

The milling machine is now a common piece of equipment in the home workshop, and Stan Bray's latest model engineering guide shows how to get the most from it. Chapters deal with types of machine and cutter, correct milling operations, both straightforward and more unorthodox, and suggested practice projects, together with information on safety, the cutting properties of metals, cutting fluids, and a handy "fault-finder" table.
