Model Boilers and Boilermaking by Karl Noble Harris. It is more than 60 years since the late E. L. Pearce’s excellent little handbook ” Model Boilermaking ” first appeared; it went through many editions but has long been out of print. Naturally, in the interim, many developments have taken place. This book is in the nature of an attempt somewhat to expand the original book, and so far as possible to bring the subject up-to-date.
