About This Item
London: Charles Griffin and Co. Ltd.. Good with no dust jacket. 1909. First Edition. Hardcover. A clean, tight ex-library copy of this detailed study of the screw propeller, with enough illustrations to satisfy any soul. There are several pull-out charts, including one that gives the dimensions of the propellers of many specific steamships. It was the practice of this library to emboss plates on the periphery with a lacy imprint of its name, no doubt to deter theft. The effect is not obtrusive, and only some of the illustrations are thus stamped. Other library markings are minimal, and the binding is sound. The book was checked out a number of times, but not since 1944. Fast shipping world wide; Ex-library .
