Résumé
The Inventions Of Traction Engines: A Journey Through Steam and Steel is a richly detailed, narrative-driven history of one of the most transformative machines of the Industrial Age: the traction engine. From the smoke-belching prototypes of the 19th century to the iconic giants that reshaped agriculture, construction, and transport, this book traces the evolution of steam-powered mobility with precision and passion.
Beginning with the early stirrings of steam innovation, the book explores the world-changing shift from stationary engines to self-propelled machines. It introduces the key inventors-like Thomas Aveling and John Fowler-whose mechanical genius turned vision into reality. Through in-depth chapters, readers will discover how traction engines diversified into road locomotives, ploughing engines, steam rollers, and even dazzling showman's engines.
More than a technical account, Steam and Steel captures the social and cultural impact of these iron titans. It reveals how they altered the rural economy, challenged public perception, and became icons of industrial power and human ingenuity. Featuring historical and a global perspective, this book is an essential read for anyone fascinated by engineering history, agricultural machinery, or the age when steam was king.
