Detailed instructions in pen-and-ink and pencil highlight this volume, which follows the 1870 construction of a locomotive from design to completion. The perfunctory text explains the overall process, as well as the specific tasks performed by certain workers, but the book is most interesting for the well-rendered drawings that are displayed against an uncluttered white background.
