The two parts of the volume appeared independently in "The Engineer" in 1934 and 1935 respectively and are collected here in convenient form, describing the outstanding machines of their day in chronological order. Subject matter includes the application of the turbine to pumps, fans, blowers and compressors but not to marine propulsion, " a subject vast enough to demand a volume to itself". Heavyweight so a contribution towards increased postage costs will be requested for overseas delivery.
