Model Steam Turbines - How to Design and Build Them - The Model Engineer Series

This book is the 23rd edition of "The Model Engineer Series". With step-by-step directions for designing and building steam turbines for model boats, this volume is highly recommended for the model boat enthusiast, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature.
