Passenger Trains > Designing and building early steam locomotivesDate: 04/15/19 19:59 Designing and building early steam locomotives Author: waymongrimes What procedures did early locomotive manufacturers and builders utilize in designing and building steam locomotives? No computers, etc., maybe slide rulers, math equations, etc to determine amount of steam and other elements necessary to power locomotives, etc. Would appreciate comments and information on this subject.
