| 43 forum posts 10 photos | Hi, Just interested in asking which volumes of the 'Stationary steam engines of great Britain' by Watkins series by Watkins would be recommended for beam engines, or any volumes recommended in general. Or are they all equally good? Cheers |

| 43 forum posts 10 photos | there also looks to be a similar series? 'Stationary steam engine makers' by george watkins is that the same or another series? |

 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | I've only got the local one for me ( London & South East) maybe 40% of the engines shown are Beam engines though some are not taken from the best of angles or don't show much detail so depends what you want the books for. There is also the "Steam Engines in Industry" series, I have the Mining and metal Trades but only about 10% beam engines in that one Both bought quite cheaply from Oxfam online shop. |
