Download or read book The NZR Steam Locomotive written by Sean Millar and published by Nz Railway and Locomotive Society. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1863 and 1971 the steam locomotive was the best known part of railways, and these steel kings of the steel road touched everyone{u2019}s lives. Stories abound regarding the steam locomotive and what made them special. This is a history of the steam locomotives owned by New Zealand{u2019}s national railway system. Numbering more than a thousand, they were enormously varied {u2013} ranging from little over five tons to almost 148 tons in weight, and from the occasional failure to trend-setting designs of international significance. This book combines the best available research with the largest collection of photographs on the subject ever assembled. Each locomotive is described by class with brief specifications, and information about the work each performed in New Zealand locomotive history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like today, with high-specification computers being used to design even higher specification models for the next generation, the making of machines to make machines was one of the most important aspects of the Industrial Revolution. The lathe, for example, is the oldest known machine tool and dates back to antiquity, but it wasn't until the late 17th century that such industries as clock making, the building of scientific instruments, furniture and gun makers, began to convert from woodworking lathes to ones that ware capable of machining metal. Craftsmen needed precise machines that could shape metal gears, cut metal screws and stamp shapes out of metal, thus enabling others to assemble their products.
