Previous editions of "Doble Steam Cars, Buses, Lorries and Railcars" are recognised 'classics' with an enviable specialised world-wide reputation. The greatly enlarged fourth edition appeals to a much wider range of readers detailing the need to substantially decrease pollutants from the ever-increasing number of road vehicles and, more importantly, showing how to reduce them to negligible amounts in a manner particularly effective in the stop-go, stop-go congestion of urban traffic.

Switch on. In 30 seconds or less you move smoothly and quietly out of garage or parking area. Instantaneously, if the 'engine' has been in recent use - in fact you can move away before switching on! Contrary to widespread inaccuracy, there is inherent freedom from all risk of dangerous explosions. Just why is fully explained.

The Doble provides quiet, smooth power, great acceleration from rest with reasonably, but not excessively high speed. The quality of design and construction is such that at least one Doble has completed considerably more than 600,000 miles, with many more thousands expected.

The development of these outstanding vehicles is traced in detail from the first in 1912 to the last 40 years later, for which Abner Doble was Consulting Engineer. this last had better mpg of fuel and better road performance than similar sized conventional cars built tens years later

Why cover the same ground twice? This most readable bood gives proven, practical facts and figures indespensable for successful future development.

We are pleased to announce that we can offer detailed drawings of Ian Hunt's Pipe Bender.

This will be a very usefull addition to any model engineering workshop. The unit is so versatile it is a must for anyone building BR Classes of locomotive, because of the high profile of the copper pipe work.

We have seen samples of pipe work Ian has produced and very tight curves and angles have not caused any distortion to the pipe or restriction in the flow through..

Drawings are currently £19.25 + p&p + VAT
