Building a Marine Compound Engine £6.95 A 3 x 5 x 3 compound engine is hardly a model, and the engine whose construction is described here will drive a boat with a 25' - 35' hull. However, Arthur Leak did design it so that it could be built by on, more or less, standard model engineers' equipment. This book is based on the designer's articles, which appeared in Model Engineer in 1982 and 1983, duly amended in the light of subsequent history, with pictures re-scanned (plus extras) and newly laid out. The author assumed that such an engine wouldn't be tackled by a beginner, and took a reasonable level of machining ability for granted. The book is clearly of use to any builder of this engine, especially in its descriptions of jigs, but its general words of wisdom and guidance mean it will appeal to builders of any size of marine compound - or to 'armchair' modellers as something different. 42 A4 format pages. Main drawings. 44 B&W photos. Softcover.
