1905 Book on 1 Cylinder Oil & Gas Pumping Engines

[kf2qd]

Here's another book I found on Project Gutenburg - Oil and Gas Engines Simply Explained by Walter C. Runciman dated 1905. Talks about the old 1 lung gas and oil pumpung engines with lots of good illustrations. While not dimesioned, the drawings give enough detail of how they did it that one could build a nice period engine from the information. Even has details about the externally heated fire tube ignition, among other interresting details.
