Book Synopsis Building a Portable Steam Engine by : Tony Webster
Download or read book Building a Portable Steam Engine written by Tony Webster and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical, instructional book describes the construction of a model of the Lampitt portable steam engine, which dates back to 1862, and which provided rotative power to drive threshing machines, circular saws, feed mills and other farm machinery. The construction of every component is described in precise detail and the text is supported by many helpful step-by-step photographs. In addition, useful advice is provided about obtaining materials and about the tools that are required to equip a model-engineering workshop. Accordingly, the information provided in this fascinating book will enable the reader to construct not only the Lampitt engine but also many other engineering models in the future. When the reader has finished building 'the Lampitt' he will, in effect, have completed an engineering apprenticeship, and will have a model engine of which he can be proud and which fully reveals the skills that he has learned. Fully illustrated with 142 step-by-step colour photographs.
Book Synopsis Portable Steam Engines by : Lyndon R. Shearman
Download or read book Portable Steam Engines written by Lyndon R. Shearman and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The portable steam engine is closely related to the traction engine but is not self-moving, requiring to be towed. It was designed to drive machinery such as threshing machines, saws and pumps. Less attention has been paid to portables than their industrial significance warrants and this book gives an overall picture of their history and development, dealing with portables at work and in preservation. Technical features are examined in some detail, especially where portable engine practice differed from that of tractions. The introduction of portable engines into agriculture was a major advance not readily appreciated in these days of diesel and electric power. Their use spread into the forestry, construction and manufacturing industries. Portables were still being made after traction engine building had ceased and the author describes some old working machines.

Download or read book Horse-Drawn Days written by Jerry Apps and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2013-01-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before tractors or steam engines arrived on the farm, horses did all the heavy work. From spring plowing to the fall harvest, the mighty draft horse powered farms across the Midwest. Relied upon to complete a multitude of tasks, including towing threshing machines and plows, hauling milk to the local cheese factory, and pulling the family buggy to church each Sunday, these animals were at the center of farm life, cementing the bond between human and horse. Horse-Drawn Days: A Century of Farming with Horses captures stories of rural life at a time when a team of horses was a vital part of the farm family. Author Jerry Apps pairs lively historic narrative with reminiscences about his boyhood on the family farm in Wisconsin to paint a vivid picture of a bygone time. Featuring fascinating historic photos, ads, and posters, plus contemporary color photos of working horses today, Horse-Drawn Days evokes the majesty of these animals and illuminates the horse’s role in our country’s early history and our rural heritage.

Book Synopsis Agriculture in the Midwest, 1815-1900 by : R. Douglas Hurt
Download or read book Agriculture in the Midwest, 1815-1900 written by R. Douglas Hurt and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2023-07 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the War of 1812 and the removal of the region's Indigenous peoples, the American Midwest became a paradoxical land for settlers. Even as many settlers found that the region provided the bountiful life of their dreams, others found disappointment, even failure--and still others suffered social and racial prejudice. In this broad and authoritative survey of midwestern agriculture from the War of 1812 to the turn of the twentieth century, R. Douglas Hurt contends that this region proved to be the country's garden spot and the nation's heart of agricultural production. During these eighty-five years the region transformed from a sparsely settled area to the home of large industrial and commercial cities, including Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Detroit. Still, it remained primarily an agricultural region that promised a better life for many of the people who acquired land, raised crops and livestock, provided for their families, adopted new technologies, and sought political reform to benefit their economic interests. Focusing on the history of midwestern agriculture during wartime, utopian isolation, and colonization as well as political unrest, Hurt contextualizes myriad facets of the region's past to show how agricultural life developed for midwestern farmers--and to reflect on what that meant for the region and nation.
