Clark explains, "Dissatisfied with the state of public professional opinion, I devoted myself unreservedly to the prosecution of Railway Mechanical Engineering as a study, and entered upon a rather extensive course of observation and research." This book is the result. The plates are a detailed, elaborate series of drawings of various locomotives, tenders, carriages (first, second & third class), luggage vans, railway wagons, goods wagons, coal wagons, gunpowder van, cattle wagon and sheep wagon, turn-tables, pump house apparatus, water-cranes, etc.
Each volume has a detailed index. The first volume includes more than three hundred wood engravings. Item #40791
