Henry, drawings by Otto Kuhler. Published by Rand McNally & Company. New York, Chicago, San Francisco: 1938. 80 pages. Book excerpt: In this brief survey the effort has been to present as complete a panorama as space allowed of the evolution and present state of the steam locomotive. To make such a presentation reasonably complete precluded any attempt to illustrate the great present-day development of the two other major types of locomotives, electric and Diesel electric. Locomotives illustrated were selected for their historic interest, or as representative of important types of American railroad power, past or present. Others of equal interest and importance might well have been selected – but, again, there are the limitations of space.Otto KuhlerRobert S.
