Hey All,

Did a quick search on the Library of Congress site and discovered literally thousands of free to view and read books related to steam engineering! :D

Here is the link http://www.loc.gov/search/?q=steam+engineering&sp=1

I found "Complete Examination Questions and Answers for Marine and Stationary Engineers" to be most interesting and informative (lots of pictures too! :D )

Thanks for the links, unfortunately (or is it fortunately) I was glued to my computer monitor for the next several hours because of the great amount of information available .......
