You could pay around £100 for the equivalent "professional" handbook and still not find what you have in here. Extensive information but also succint comments that explain it all in terms of practical application. I got more out of the 2 pages on electric motors than from hours of lectures (admittedly rather a long time ago.) My only regret is that I didn't find this book about 3 decades ago.

Tubal Cain has managed to take some of the most complicated theories, completely undress them and make them understandable, useful to the model engineer. Plus there is a handy note section so that the reader can make notes that are relevant to the particular project that they are working on at the time. The books available from both Tubal Cain and George Thomas, must be the complete model engineers Bible. As far as I am concerned, the book is a MUST HAVE.

What you get with this book is invaluable information in the form of reference data and explanations clearly written and presented. This is not a step-by-step tutorial of how to build something, but has just about everything you WILL need in the future! I have done a lot of mechanical work and design in my past employment and have just decided to take up model engineering as a hobby, and I am glad I purchased this. It's the book I will be reaching to when I have a technical problem......wish me luck!

Not that great
I had the impression, prior to buying this book, that it was going to be pretty comprehensive for the kind of tables and lists you would want to look up without leafing through... Read more

Would be more useful as a pdf
Lots of useful and arcane information in here, but in this day and age when most of us probably have a laptop in the workshop I would be more likely to search for this information... Read more
