Written by one of the foremost engine designers of his day. How to Build a Three-Horsepower Launch Engine by E.W. Roberts was first published in 1901 by The Gas Engine Publishing Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a sixty-six page book that contains complete text, drawings, and instructions for an amateur to build a single cylinder, three horsepower, make'n'break, marine engine. The process required the building of foundry patterns, casting the parts, machining, assembling, and testing the engine. Quite an extraordinary undertaking for an amateur, but apparently it was done. Weston Farmer in his book From My Old Boatshop states that when he was a child one of his neighbors built an engine from this book.
