This reprint contains the steam vehicle chapters from a 1914 work, Self Propelled Vehicles, which in this context meant motor cars. The information on the steam engines used is just about adequate, but where this book is really hot (ha!) is on the boilers, notably flash steam ones, burners and regulators, boiler attachments and automatic regulating devices, and the systems used by various manufacturers. Useful book on a little covered form of steam power. 90 heavily illustrated pages. Paperback. Lindsay Publications
