Selection of Papers by L.D. Porta Volume 3 Steam Locomotive Boilers, Fireboxes and Combustion

This is the third of five planned volumes of technical papers by the Argentinean engineer L.D. Porta covering various aspects relating to the "modernisation" of steam locomotives. Most have been transcribed from handwritten manuscripts that have never been published before.This second volume contains three technical papers relating to Adhesion, Compounding and Porta's proposal for the Tornado project, all of which should be of interest to the 21st Century steam community. It is hoped that much may be learned from them.
