from the introduction: ” this book is intended for a large class of readers… It is evident, therefore, that the only way to adapt the book to all the classes for whom it was intended was to make it so plain that the ‘wayfaring man’  will have no difficulty in comprehending it.” Great Reference book. Many diagrams and pictures.

Based upon George Kosak’s “Katechismus der Lokomotive.”
Original Book. Excellent condition for its age.
